Volunteer

Sonoma Valley Historical Society thrives because of the dedication of our volunteers. Will you help us?
We have three primary groups of volunteers:

Museum Greeters and Docents provide interpretive support to museum visitors and classes, and may also be involved in educational outreach services.

Volunteers can chose various tasks in support of our operations including: archival processing, conservation/ preservation tasks, public relations and outreach, information technology, or research according to their interests.

If you are interested in volunteering please review our Volunteer Opportunities section below and fill out the Volunteer Application. New volunteers are required to attend a Volunteer Orientation meeting; these meetings are held three times a year (February, May, and September) and you will be informed of the next meeting when your application is confirmed.

Interns are typically students fulfilling program requirements for their home institutions and will be given appropriate and well-defined project assignments. Interns are drawn from the local and regional educational institutions in Northern California but may also include students from throughout California or beyond.
