Things are happening at the San Juan Historical Society and Museum this summer!
Become a part of the growing volunteer community by attending one of the June volunteer orientations at the Etta Egeland Resource Center, 323 Price Street:
Saturday, June 17 – 9 am – 11 am
Tuesday, June 20 – 4 pm – 6 pm
Thursday, June 22 – 10 am – noon
The orientation will include a guided tour of the Museum and a behind-the-scenes look at the results of the 2017 Archival Project. Volunteers can choose which projects and what role they would like to play at the Museum in the coming months. Opportunities including staffing the Welcome Center for a two hour shift, researching, photo scanning, involvement in current projects, and assisting the preparation of new exhibits.
At the Museum, we appreciate and value your time and contributions. After a brief orientation, each volunteer will choose their participation, will receive any supplies and training necessary to complete that project or role, and have the opportunity to join a robust team of volunteers and staff in creating the future of the island’s history.
Please call 360-378-3949 and leave a message regarding which orientation you will be attending (space is limited). You can also send an email to [email protected].
A flyer is attached with further information about the volunteer possibilities.
