Volunteer

Volunteers are essential to the mission of Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear. We truly cannot accomplish our goals without your help. It's a great way to serve a worthy cause, to meet other interesting people, or to just get your hands dirty repairing a building. We have plenty of tasks for volunteers to help us with! You may have only one hour a week. That's ok. Let us know of your interest and time availability on the volunteer form and we'll sign you up with our great volunteer team!

SPECIAL BULLETIN

We need skilled carpenters and builders who can supervise our volunteer work projects.

Do you like talking with people, are you outgoing? Be a Docent this summer!

Work Projects Preservation projects are the essence of what Preserve is all about. We hold work bees every year that require a core of skilled and unskilled volunteers to get the job done. Come help us clear debris, hammer nails, paint or operate a brush hog! It is also essential to have qualified builders and carpenters that can lead a project. Donate your expertise and feel great about preserving our heritage. Time commitment: Often a weekend – but we can sometimes use people up to 5 days depending on the scope of the project.

Docent - The historic Olsen farm is open to the public during peak times of the year. Consider being a greeter who welcomes visitors to the house, provides basic interpretive information and answers questions. The house is open from June-Labor Day weekend. Time commitment: once or twice a month in 2 hour time slots.

Photographer - We need people who love to take pictures! Are you available to shoot some photos of our projects and events? Give us a shout!

Event Assistance - We need lots of helping hands with our events like the Port Oneida Fair, our Run/Walk, Chicken Dinner and more. Whether you're available the day of the event or would like to be in on the planning - we can use you. Please contact us so we can connect.
