VOLUNTEER

We offer Volunteer opportunities for Members, Non-Member Adults, Students, and Youth Organizations, which involve
specific projects, events, or activities.

From learning to be a docent in one of our buildings to helping direct traffic at an event, you can help the cause of preserving our heritage for generations to come. We may be painting a building or cleaning up flower beds. If these are things you like to do, then let us know and become a Friend of SWFCHS.
