For more than 50 years our organization has depended on dedicated, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful volunteers. Volunteers support The Watershed History Collective in a myriad of ways, such as helping with program hospitality, conducting historical research, decorating or setting up the Gingerbread House Festival and much more! We are also always looking for a variety of skills for our Board of Directors and welcome high school and college students with specific interests.
As a volunteer you will gain new skills and experience, meet a diverse patronage, and contribute to a fun and educational atmosphere. Volunteering is a great way to get involved and support our mission.
