Volunteers Wanted

To Enhance Our Interpretive Programs
at Fort Ross State Historic Park

  How would you like to take part in educational and interpretive activities which help to bring alive the active living settlement that was Fort Ross from 1812 –1841?

  We are looking for people who possess a positive and enthusiastic attitude toward people, have a love for history, and are willing to share skills and knowledge with visitors and/or staff. You must have the ability to follow directions as well as work independently.

  Would you like to volunteer in costume interacting with the public, young and old? Or would you prefer to share knowledge and skills of the history or the cultural aspects of this time period directly to staff and other volunteers? Perhaps you have a skill in woodworking, tinsmithing, blacksmithing, sewing, cooking or other necessary life crafts of the early 1800’s. You may even want to work behind the scenes helping us build or repair items that are used in our historical interpretation.

Do you speak Russian? We are in need of translators for our annual Cultural Heritage Day, Saturday July 31, 2004.

  If you would like to join us at Fort Ross or would like more information please call Sarah Gould at 707-847-4777.

You may also send an email to frsarah@mcn.org to request more information. Thank you.
