Program Manager (Full-Time)
Love turning ideas into meaningful experiences? Bring your creativity and help shape engaging programs, events, and community connections at the Aurora Colony Museum. This role blends imagination, leadership, and hands-on work. You’ll develop programs and support talented volunteers while bringing history to life. We’re looking for a self-starter full of ideas who enjoys working with people and building relationships. Ideal for someone who thrives on variety and collaboration. This position offers the opportunity to grow visitor engagement, reach new audiences, and make a lasting impact.
Interpreter (Seasonal, Part-Time)
Step into the past—literally—as an Interpreter with our Stauffer-Will Farm field trip program. In this lively, hands-on role, you’ll help bring 19th-century history to life for students through storytelling, demonstrations, and interactive activities. You will guide 3rd-6th grade students through the process of using tools, woodworking, making bread on a wood stove, learning about fiber arts, and dipping a candle. No experience required. Training will be provided. Working in period clothing and alongside a supportive team, Interpreters create memorable learning experiences that are energetic, engaging, and genuinely fun. This position is ideal for people who enjoy performing, teaching, or working with kids—and who love the idea of making history feel real, relatable, and exciting. No two days are the same, and the impact you make lasts far beyond the field trip.
Facilities & Properties Coordinator (Part-Time)
Do you enjoy working with your hands and taking pride in caring for special places? This role focuses on keeping historic buildings and landscapes safe, functional, and welcoming through routine maintenance, coordination with contractors, and practical problem-solving. It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys working with their hands and takes pride in their work. You don’t need to be an expert in everything—just reliable, a problem-solver, and ready to help preserve meaningful places for the community.
