Volunteer at Naper Settlement!
Naper Settlement volunteers play an essential role in inspiring and engaging thousands of visitors from all over the world. Volunteers founded the Naperville Heritage Society in 1969 and they remain the core of the Society’s mission. Dedicated and passionate volunteers interact with and support over 130,000 annual museum visitors from the greater Naperville community, statewide, nationally and internationally. We welcome dynamic, lifelong learners who want to be a part of Naper Settlement’s volunteer corps.

We invite you to explore our many volunteer opportunities and discover the right volunteer opportunity for you. Volunteers can assist at one event, once a week or whenever they have extra time. Volunteers can work behind the scenes, outdoors, with visitors, or even at home.
