General Volunteer Application

General Call for Volunteers for Sites Across the State

Become a history maker! Help others by sparking discovery through Ohio History!

Ohio History Connection has all sorts of opportunities to volunteer nearly every day. We offer something for everyone, including some limited virtual opportunities. Whether you're a history buff or just appreciate opportunities to learn and serve others, we're always looking for folks to help. We can accommodate a variety of time commitments from an occasional event to several times a month. We can also help you meet community services requirements for school and work.

This is a listing of some of our most popular volunteer opportunities. We're happy to connect you to other departments within Ohio History Connection and direct your to other historic sites around Ohio. Just complete the application and tell us a bit about yourself and interests.

All volunteers must complete the application, pass a criminal background check (required for volunteering in organizations that service children), and complete orientation.

Public Program/Special Events Volunteer

This position supports the large public programs. Each site holds special programs for their visitors and help is always needed with logistical support. Help visitors navigate the site, lead simple craft activities, and more!

Education Program Volunteer

Many of our sites and site partners host school groups. These dynamic programs require a team of quick thinking and friendly educators. This position is great for volunteers who have classroom experience, or are studying education. Volunteers will facilitate education programs in a variety of topics.

Historic Sites Clean-up Volunteer

Many times throughout the year, we need the assistance of kind members of the public to clear debris and pick up trash from our many historic sites across the state. This not only keeps our site system beautiful for all to enjoy, but it helps our environment by keeping trash from clogging waterways and natural habitats. We're able to accommodate individuals and groups of all sizes throughout the year, weather permitting. Interested in a corporate community service day? Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@ohiohistory.org. Please put "corporate volunteers" in the subject line.
