The JHS’s goal for its volunteer program is to ensure that all volunteers gain a sense of belonging and personal satisfaction through being part of something bigger than themselves; that they come away from their tasks feeling rewarded and valued for their time and participation. All tasks, big or small, are important parts of the overall JHS dynamic. Being plugged in to the right jobs is critical to reach and maintain that perfect dance unique to each non-profit’s success.
The Johnstown Historical Society has several opportunities for volunteering, some are one-time projects such as helping at an event or fundraiser. Others include the planning and development of the events themselves, and there are other opportunities to work behind the scenes in other capacities.
Some of the following categories are more specialized and require trained personnel; others are general in nature and volunteers need no more than a general explanation of how to carry out the tasks.
Please take a look at current one-time and ongoing volunteer opportunities below and contact jhscomuseum@gmail.com for more information.
