Calling All Volunteers

The Tehachapi Depot Railroad Museum is looking for volunteers to run the depot as Docents and Cashiers. Our Volunteers are museum hosts who welcome our visitors and answer questions about the Depot and our community. If you think you would enjoy meeting people from all over the United States and the World, then this job if for you.

The main docent task is opening the Depot at 11 a.m. and closing it at 4 p.m. The stuff in between is fun and simple. The main cashier task is similar to the docent chore above but you will focus your time in the Depot Gift Shop helping our guests purchase take-away mementos of their visit.

You don't have to be a railroad expert but it helps to learn a little about the Depot and its history. You can easily do this by wandering around the Depot and attending our next Volunteer Training Class where you'll receive some basic task training and enjoy a detailed tour of the facility. Once you've completed the training, you'll have the opportunity to work as a docent or cashier once a month, or more if you'd like.

For any questions or to sign up for the training class contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Susan Mueller, at (661) 822-8017 or email at [email protected].
