New volunteers are always welcome and CCHS has a variety of rewarding opportunities to put your skills and interests to work. Whether for only a few hours a month or several hours a week, you decide the level of commitment depending on your schedule.
The following is just a sample of volunteer opportunities:
Administrative - Assist researchers at the Archive and Research Center and support the daily operations of the CCHS.

Events - Assist in the planning of public meetings, lectures, fairs, exhibits, and/or our annual Gala celebration.
