Why should I volunteer?

Suddenly, I have been a volunteer in new york Museum of Modern Art for two years. I still remember when I interviewed two years ago, Miss Megan, the head of the Volunteer Department, asked me the first question after I introduced myself: "Why do you want to volunteer in our library?"

At that time, I replied: I like art and museums and hope to work in such an institution one day. As a new immigrant, I am also willing to do my best to help others and get to know the city better. I have a professional background in art history and more than ten years of work experience. I have visited Pompidou Art Center and tate modern many times, and I have a certain understanding of modern art, and I have the ability and willingness to do this job well.

After work, out of curiosity, I often ask this question to my volunteer colleagues who work together, but I get various answers.

A woman who works in Princeton ETS is also a photographer, hoping to communicate with more new york artists through the museum.

You can see tourists from all over the world and, of course, locals in the museum. "
