Volunteer Information

Our volunteers’ time and talent are vital to the success of the Franklin County Historical Society - Kittochtinny.

 

Volunteers assist with visitors coming for tours, helping visitors conduct research in the library, catalog records and archives, and help with general administrative duties throughout the society’s various areas.

​

Placement of volunteers is determined based on the volunteer’s interest, skills, and life experiences as well as the needs of the institution. FCHS-K volunteers bring life and energy to supporting the work of our staff through the time they donate.
