High School Student Summer Volunteers

Caitlyn and Colleen assist the Collections Department

This past July, a group of high school students earned service hours by volunteering behind-the-scenes at the Museum.  Most of the students came from local high schools, but we also had two students participate who were visiting from overseas – one from Puerto Rico and one all the way from France!  The students helped a different Museum department each day of the week, and got hands-on experience working with everything from artifact donation records to oral history interviews.

For a group of students already interested in history, it was a fun and unique way to earn required service hours.  Find out how you can volunteer at The National WWII Museum too!
