All of our efforts require one resource which you, our membership, can provide: volunteers. As an all-volunteer organization, we depend on member participation to put on events, create publications and host tours, and now put out the call for your help. Volunteering is fun, educational and helps us carry out our mission of sharing with the community the heritage of Sacramento County. If you can help out, contact us directly at (916)443-6265 or info@sachistoricalsociety.org.
Some Volunteer Positions We Are Hoping To Fill:
Newsletter Editor
The newsletter editor's job is to create the Golden Nuggets newsletter, and coordinate mailing the newsletter via email and the post office with membership coordinator. Currently Golden Nuggets is created using Microsoft Publisher 2007 software, so the new editor should have access to and familiarity with MS Publisher or other desktop publishing software.
Volunteer Coordinator
In order to connect volunteers with jobs, one person is needed to maintain a list of members interested in volunteering for special events or one-time duties. The volunteer coordinator will keep a list of members interested in participating in SCHS events, will receive instructions from the Board when volunteers are needed, call volunteers from the list, and report to the Board which volunteers will be present to help with an event.
Event Volunteer
Event volunteers help set up, clean up and coordinate individual SCHS events, including regular meetings, special events, tours and SCHS membership tables at community events. If you want to help but don't have enough time to be a regular volunteer or a board member, being an event volunteer is a great way to help!
