Existing volunteers will occasionally receive invitations to volunteer for special events.
Research Volunteers
Long-term special project Heritage Site Finder requires current assistance with research and writing. Positions are remote and at the volunteers’ own schedule until the end of 2021. Interest requires commitment time between now and December 2021.
Photography & Digital Media Volunteers
Various projects and communications benefit from photographic documentation of heritage buildings and sites. Volunteers must have access to their own equipment and creativity is encouraged. VHF also welcomes support through videography and post-production.
