We are seeking an Events and Outreach Coordinator to join our Dartmouth Heritage Museum team. 

Working under the Executive Director, the Events and Outreach Coordinator will support the Dartmouth Heritage Museum (DHM) in delivering engaging events, programs, community outreach, and digital communications, to the public. The aim of this position is to increase visitation to the historic houses, support revenue-generation, expand our promotional reach to new audiences, and to deliver experience-driven programs and events that support achieving the Museum’s mission of “engagement, education, and storytelling.”
