Have an idea for a Museum of Service in your community? Already working on one? Or simply curious about what’s possible?
Join the National Museum and Center for Service for our virtual Makerspaces, welcoming, informal drop-in sessions where Community Curators can connect, explore ideas, share progress, and find support as they bring local stories of service to life.
Whether you’re just getting started or working through the details of an exhibition, we’re here to help.
What to expect
Makerspaces are flexible, participant-driven working sessions. Depending on who’s in the room and what people need, we might:
- Brainstorm ideas and explore possibilities for your community
- Talk through challenges or questions
- Share tools, resources, and practical tips
- Get feedback on an idea, plan, or work in progress
- Connect with other Community Curators and learn from their experiences
- Simply listen, learn, and gather inspiration
No presentations to prepare. No pressure to participate. No experience required.
You can come with a specific question, bring something you’re working on, or just drop in to see what others are creating.

Everyone is a Community Curator
We believe the stories of service in every community deserve to be seen, shared, and celebrated. You don’t need to be a museum professional to help make that happen.
Whether you’re part of a school, nonprofit, service organization, library, community group, or simply someone who cares about celebrating service, there’s a place for you here.
Come curious. Leave connected, encouraged, and ready for your next step.
