Become one of “Sparky’s” People

Charles M. Schulz was nicknamed “Sparky” after a cartoon character named “Spark Plug,” by his uncle when he was just 2 days old. To join the ranks of friendly, knowledgeable individuals—follow these easy steps:

  • Complete & submit the appropriate application
  • Attend a New Volunteer Orientation
  • Read the volunteer handbook, and required materials
  • Become familiar with the Museum exhibits and the life and work of Charles M. Schulz
  • Take and pass a quiz based on the most frequently asked questions
  • Sign up for a minimum of two shifts per month (6-7 hours)
  • Enjoy sharing the legacy of the man who brought so much joy to the world!

Attention Student Volunteers!
You must be 14 years or older to be a Student Volunteer at the Schulz Museum. Please do not ask your parents to complete your application or sign you up for an orientation. A large part of volunteering is making that initial contact yourself and going through the process of completing the application. We want to hear from YOU and learn a little bit about you, so we can offer you opportunities that suit your specific talents and needs. Thanks for making that effort! It will be very rewarding in the long run and help you with future situations.
