Volunteer - Give a Gift of Time
There are many ways to volunteer with the HHS!
If you have considered being a volunteer, but are not sure it is the best choice for your time, consider the values. Not only does it help the organization you choose, but volunteering is good for you. Key benefits include improvement in mental health and self-esteem, giving a better outlook on life. Volunteering is also a great way to build friendships and diminish loneliness.
People who volunteer are in general healthier!
We recently reviewed the volunteer opportunities for the HHS. Staffing the Gift-shop and Museum on weekends is our greatest need, but there are a number of other places to help the HHS as well!
Opportunities:
– We are now offering Second Saturday programs in our new Black Range Museum Courtyard. Help with set up and welcome of visitors is needed.
– Our sites have many jobs. These include working on maintenance and enhancement of the sites, and thinking about new interpretive materials and displays. We also need occasional organizing for cleanup of roadsides and weeds.
– We want to do more Oral Histories. This includes helping with interviews plus transcribing the tapes.
– Additionally, each year we seek new board members to serve with our fun and active group of Directors .
We are a small, all-volunteer, local organization, built in a low-population area. We hope you will embrace the benefits of volunteering, and choose to find something to suit your interests at the Hillsboro Historical Society. We need you!
Please contact us soon by emailing hillsboronmhistory@gmail.com. You can attach the volunteer form, bring it by the Museum on weekends, or mail it. We will find a place that fits your time, interests and skills.
