Are you a history nerd, or just sort of interested?  Hate bugs or love the outdoors?  Are you more of an introvert than an extrovert?  We have a spot for you, no matter who you are - teens, adults, businesses and organizations - from archives and collections to programming and exhibits; building and fixing stuff to yardwork and tours.  

 

Volunteers play an essential role at HCFC. We strive to make all volunteer experiences enjoyable and valuable for everyone.

​

Welcome Desk

Do you enjoy interacting with people but prefer the comfort of a cushy chair and a warm cup of coffee? Join our team as a volunteer at our welcome desk.  You will be responsible for answering calls, greeting visitors, and assisting staff with light clerical work.
