Volunteering at Kettle’s Yard
Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community, learn new skills, make friends and professional contacts, and get more involved with a unique art gallery. Kettle’s Yard hugely values its team of volunteers, who have a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Everyone aged 16 and over is welcome to volunteer, and we encourage interest from new voices and perspectives.
Upcoming volunteering roles include supporting learning and community activities, supporting our front of house team with events and concerts, helping in the Kettle’s Yard garden and assisting with administration in our office.
Work Experience
Kettle’s Yard aims to provide meaningful and supportive work experience opportunities to students at our strategic school partners. These are currently:
- North Cambridge Academy
- Castle School
Students from these schools who are looking for work experience should contact learning@kettlesyard.cam.ac.uk.
We regret that Kettle’s Yard is unable to offer school or student work experience from other schools in 2023. You may find further information about opportunities across the University of Cambridge Museums on their website.
Internships and Placements
Paid internships and employment are advertised on our jobs page. We are unable to accept speculative inquiries for internships or placements.
Please note that volunteering is not equivalent to an internship, studentship or work experience.
