Giving back is a win-win-win
Gain energy and give energy by putting your talents to work for community benefit.
Research has shown that volunteering creates a win-win-win! You gain energy, connections, and a sense of satisfaction from using your strengths to help others. Mennonite Life gains a boost from your partnership in our mission. And ultimately communities benefit – locally and beyond – from access to the histories, cultures, and stories of Mennonite life.
Volunteer Opportunities:
- Host museum visitors and groups on one or both of our campuses
- Assist customers in our research library and archives
- Process accessions to our collections
- Digitize documents and photographs for online accessibility
- Sort donated used books for our annual Bookworm Frolic
- Hands-on property maintenance tasks
- Serve as a tour guide at the 1719 Museum (April-October)
