Would you like to help us grow in our mission? If you enjoy learning about local history, have a knack for teaching, would like to be a docent for tours, or just enjoy interacting with people, we may have volunteer work that would incorporate these aspects of your personality. Maybe you like to work with computers, or possess certain skills, such as filing, typing. Can you commit to 3 hours a day, a week, a month or a year?
Have you considered volunteering as a family? We have volunteer opportunities suitable for parents and children to do together, or for a husband and wife to take on as a team. When a family volunteers to work together at a nonprofit organization, the experience can bring them closer together, teach young children the value of giving their time and effort back to their community, introduce everyone in the family to skills and experiences never before encountered, and give the entire family a shared experience as a wonderful family memory.
