Anyone who wants to aid in telling the story of
our 16th president has the opportunity when the Abraham Lincoln
Presidential Library and Museum welcomes new volunteers at an
orientation session Wednesday, Feb. 16.
|
The event will spell out how to join
the team that greets visitors, assists at events, helps researchers
and much more.
The one-hour session begins at 5:30 p.m. in the presidential
library’s Multi-Purpose Room (112 N. Sixth Street., Springfield).
Learn about the volunteer opportunities available and what you need
to know about the library and museum.
Volunteers will be asked to attend three additional training
sessions: Wednesday, March 2; Wednesday, March 9; and Wednesday,
March 16. Each session starts at 5:30 p.m.
Volunteers contribute an average of 40,000 hours of service each
year to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, making
the experience better for those who visit the hugely popular
institution.
