Engagement
Are you passionate about climate action and eager to share your knowledge with others?
We're looking for docents/tour guides and volunteers to help advance CAM’s mission and we’d love for you to be a part of the CAM family!
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a community of dedicated individuals committed to making a difference. We will be planning training sessions soon and we are gathering information for those that are interested in taking action now! During these engaging sessions, you'll learn how to open/close an event and effectively guide visitors through our exhibits, sharing insights on sustainability, climate solutions, and the innovative work happening right here in Chicago. Our founding board members will bring their wealth of experience and enthusiasm to ensure you leave inspired and ready to make an impact.
Sign up today to be a part of something extraordinary by filling out the form to the right. We can't wait to see you at CAM!
Depending on your interest, you will be contacted once we have an event that we need volunteers for or once the training session is scheduled.
Let's work together to educate, inspire, and drive action for a sustainable future!

Community Support
“I believe that the Climate Action Museum can support our mission and will help us and others to raise awareness and enthusiasm for the opportunities created through the City’s decarbonization efforts in historically underserved Black and Brown communities.”
- Naomi Davis, Founder and CEO, Blacks in Green
“We believe the Climate Action Museum’s vision of inspiring Chicagoans to take action in their own communities and throughout the Chicagoland region to mitigate climate change will help push Chicago forward in the fight against climate change.”
- Robert ‘A.J.’ Patton, Managing Partner and Founder, 548 Enterprise
“The Climate Action Museum will…help advance the conversation for the conservation of water, designing healthy environments and equitable communities.”
- Alicia Ponce, Founder of Arquitina, Founder and Principal of APMonarch Architects
“The Climate Action Museum is an exciting and creative way to educate all Chicagoans about their impact on the environment and inspire them to take action in their own lives and in their own homes to reduce their carbon footprint.”
- Brian Imus, Executive Director, Illinois Green Alliance
“We believe that the Climate Action Museum will be a resource, whereby our Uptown residents, building owners and property managers can experience, learn and find solutions to mitigate the carbon emissions coming from their properties.”
- Lesley Showers, Executive Director, The Institute of Cultural Affairs
“The scale of needed change is so substantial that people are at a loss for what to do and where they can make an impact. Chicagoans would benefit from an accessible, engaging place that explains climate change and doable actions to mitigate its effects. That is the Climate Action Museum.”
- Bonnie McDonald, President and CEO, Landmarks Illinois
“I believe the Climate Action Museum can engage every community in the city. And I believe every community in the city needs to experience the Climate Action Museum.”
- Tim Tracey, AIA, SmithGroup, Vice President / Office Director (Chicago)
