The
Cloverdale Historical Society relies on the skills, imaginations and
energies of a tremendous group of volunteers. We welcome your
interest in joining us.
Here
are few volunteer opportunities you might consider:
Docent.
Dip your toes in the water with a few hours per week/month at the
History Center. Help to welcome visitors and guide them through the
exhibit halls, library, and Gould-Shaw house. It's a great way to
make friends and to give to the Cloverdale community.
Exhibits
Committee Member. Yes, the
History Center and Gould-Shaw house exhibits are entirely created and
maintained by volunteers. Hard to imagine, isn't it? You might bring
your strengths to the ongoing needs surrounding our permanent and
temporary exhibits. Visit us and take a look at our Exhibits pages to
learn more about our vision.
Programs Committee
Member. This is an exciting
group just beginning to bring new programs to life for this new
facility. We say we don't want for ideas, but for able volunteers.
Come help us create the educational and community-minded programs
that bring our center to life. A quick look at the calendar will give
you an idea of what we do.
Docent Coordinator.
Right now, we're looking for a person to recruit, train, and organize
our docents. It's a big job and so very important to the warm,
welcoming experience we offer our visitors.
Library
Coordinator. Our research
library is an invaluable resource to serious researchers and curious
minds. This new space has tremendous potential ... and a lot of work
ahead of it to become the organized, accessible library we
envision.
Researcher.
Regional and genealogical researchers from across the country contact
us regularly with queries. We have a wonderful library for a
volunteer who enjoys a puzzle and digging into a challenge.
Database
Operator. We are currently
building and maintaining databases using Microsoft Access. If you are
familiar with this program and would like to assist us, we would love
your help.
Board of Directors Member.
Come visit one of our monthly board meetings to see what we're doing
to shape the future of Cloverdale's history. You might decide right
there to add your positive, collaborative energy to ours.
