In order for our annual American Independence Festival to be successful, we need the help of more than 100 individual volunteers in the days leading up to the event and on the Festival day itself. Commit to 4 hours at the event, or help plan the event this winter and spring!
Assist with the set-up, admissions, guest services, programming, and clean-up at our events. Events run between 2 and 8 hours.
Take visitors on guided tours or answer questions as people tour the Museum on their own. Tours last about 1 to 1½ hours and involve standing, walking and climbing stairs. (May – November)
This committee is dedicated to encouraging people in their 20s and 30s to get involved in the AMC and enjoy the outdoors. We are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers interested in becoming involved with the Committee.
The Young Professional Advocates are a group of people 21-35 years of age who are interested in meeting other socially-minded individuals. This group’s philosophy is that charity does not have to feel like an obligation. Their meetings are productive but also fun, often taking place at a bowling alley or over a pizza party.
Whether you enjoy carpentry, painting, landscaping, or any other hands-on skills, there are always projects available at the Village.
We are currently recruiting energetic and outgoing volunteers to join our Walk Planning Committees! Each of our 12 Walk To End Alzheimer’s events has a Planning Committee that meets monthly, year-round to work on areas such as community outreach, corporate engagement, logistics and more!
As a volunteer you’ll help with copying, filing, folding brochures, helping with mailings, greeting visitors in our gift shop, compiling our marketing scrapbook, putting price tags on gift shop items, replying to donation requests, or sewing a button on a volunteer’s historical clothing. If the volunteer is comfortable with computer projects, we may ask for…
If you love history and are seeking the opportunity to share that passion with visitors, this is the perfect fit for you! You’ll educate the public on the history of Heritage Village during both special events and our 90-minute guided tours throughout the year. Tour guides are asked to wear period appropriate clothing.
Throughout the year Heritage Village Museum runs a variety of special events. Help anywhere from admissions and concessions to dressing in period clothing and interpreting our historic buildings or doing 19th century demonstrations, there is something for everyone!
