[February 06, 2023]
The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and
Museum will welcome potential new members of its amazing volunteer
team at an orientation session Wednesday, Feb. 8.
|
ALPLM volunteers greet visitors,
assist at events, help researchers and much more. The orientation
session will explain the how the team of roughly 500 people operates
and how to join.
The one-hour event 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 two-hour
training sessions: Wednesday, Feb. 22; Wednesday, March 1, and
Wednesday, March 8.
Volunteers contribute an average of 35,000 hours of service each
year at the ALPLM, making the experience better for everyone who
visits the hugely popular institution. They also get free admission
to the museum and can enjoy special lectures and presentations
created just for them. And, of course, it’s a great way to make
lasting friendships!
