Volunteering
Volunteers receive many benefits from their work at Grey Roots. Most importantly, they have the satisfaction of seeing Grey County’s history preserved, shared and enjoyed through their efforts. Volunteers participate in learning workshops and seminars, meet new people and make new friends, and share their unique talents with the thousands of people who visit the Museum and Archives every year. They are so able to visit Grey Roots free of charge and receive our quarterly newsletter, Grey Matter, after 20 completed hours of service, are eligible for discounts in the gift shop, are covered by insurance while on duty, and celebrate their successes at volunteer appreciation events!
There are 18 different volunteer positions here at Grey Roots! This summer we will be providing interpretive tours to the public in our Heritage Village, Moreston, throughout the day supplemented with costumed volunteers depicting pioneer life throughout the Village. We are also looking for volunteers to sew costumes.
