Mobile Museum Specialist

Established by the General Assembly in 2020, the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250) commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, Revolutionary War, and the independence of the United States within the Commonwealth of Virginia. As a historic hub where many crucial events of the American Revolution unfolded, Virginia plays a vital role in honoring this legacy. The VA250 Commission organizes programs, events, and initiatives to educate and engage communities in this pivotal period of history.

The VA250 Commission is seeking enthusiastic and engaging individuals to join our Mobile Museum Experience team. The VA250 Mobile Museum Experience “Out of Many, One,” is traveling across the Commonwealth sharing the stories of everyday Virginians from 250 years ago, the fundamental role that Virginia played in our nation’s founding, and how that legacy has been passed on to each subsequent generation as we continue to work toward “a more perfect union” together.

This position is part of a team of ambassadors that travel to sites where the Mobile Museum is deployed to provide a welcoming and hospitable environment and a rewarding learning experience for visitors and the public.

This part-time role requires extensive travel availability, with some weekends and evenings required, and is limited to 1,500 hours a year from May 1 through April 30.
