Do you love the planes, people, and history of Northwest Airlines and its family of carriers as much as we do? Come be a part of the Northwest Airlines History Center family! We offer three ways for you to be a part of Northwest’s great legacy:
DONATE:
Your tax deductible donations are the essential fuel that keeps the Northwest Airlines History Center in the air, helping fund the museum at the Crowne Plaza AiRE Hotel, as well as maintenance and cataloging of the archives at Flying Cloud Airport.
BECOME A MEMBER:
Becoming a Northwest Airlines History Center member is like an upgrade to First Class for your History Center experience. All members receive:
- “REFLECTIONS” quarterly newsletter
- Invitations to all NWAHC-sponsored special events
- The pride of helping keep alive the history of Northwest Airlines for others
Annual membership is $35 (which includes the newsletter in print form by mail), or $30 (which includes the newsletter via e-mail). Your membership date is based on your initial member subscription date, with renewals payable every 12 months. You can even set your membership to automatically renew, if you wish, in the links below:
Membership Application – e-newsletter option
Membership Application – postal mail newsletter option
VOLUNTEER:
Whether you’re a retiree, worker, or student, we have projects and flexibility to fit your schedule, expertise, and enthusiasm. You don’t even need to have worked for an airline – if you love history, adventure, and storytelling, you’re already one of us! We’re looking for folks to help us with:
- Greeting and guiding our museum guests
- Designing and building museum exhibits
- Grant application and fundraising
- Community outreach & event planning
- Photography and video production
- Scanning and indexing historic documents and photos
- Online advertising and social media
- Maintaining and updating our online store, and our point-of-sale terminal
Our most pressing need is for museum staff to help us consistently cover Thursday, Friday, and Saturday schedules. Shifts are only 4 hours and we always schedule at least two people on a shift – even if you can come just one day per week, we are happy to welcome you on board!
To join the team, please email us at info@northwestairlineshistory.org or leave us a voicemail on (952) 698-4478 with your contact information and how you would like to help. Even easier, we have a web-form you can fill in at this link.
