Opportunities From: VolunteerME Mid Coast Maine

Do you love to share history? Are you also friendly and outgoing? We might have the perfect volunteer position for you! Pejepscot History Center is looking for a greeter at our headquarters, 159 Park Row, Brunswick. Our headquarters houses the Pejepscot Museum--which has 2 galleries of rotating exhibits, a museum shop, and our extensive archival collection. As a museum greeter, you would be the first face visitors encounter and have a variety of tasks, ranging from selling historic house tour tickets for the Skolfield-Whittier House and Joshua L. Chamberlain House, providing information about the museum and local area, taking simple research questions, answering phones, and admin tasks. We're open Tuesday-Saturday and have morning and afternoon shifts available. Most of our volunteers work one shift per week (2-3 hours). Training and support are provided by a dedicated and friendly staff. Volunteering with PHC has many benefits including free historic house tours, a museum shop discount, and discounted or free admission to our many events. If you'd like more information or are interested in this position, we'd love to hear from you! 

We have been hard at work planning safe arrangements that will allow us to have a full season (5/31-10/31) of historic house tours, programming, and operations. Volunteers are key to that success and we’re keen to continue growing our volunteer team. We are accepting applications of interest for volunteer docents at our historic house museums. Our docents love what they do, so giving back feels as much like giving to yourself! Expand your knowledge of history, meet people from around the country and the world, and share your enthusiasm for the people of the Greater Brunswick Maine community. We need docents for both house museums—the Victorian time capsule Skolfield-Whittier House and the Joshua L. Chamberlain Museum, home of the Civil War hero. (Both houses have multiple stories and require climbing stairs.) Training will begin late spring, with a goal of having new docents in place at the end of May. If you are interested in being docent, please complete an online Volunteer Application. For more information, please call 207.729.6606 or visit www.pejepscothistorical.org.

This season we are continuing our restoration project in the historic garden at the back of the Skolfield-Whittier House. We will be clearing the winter's detritus, building a fence, installing new plant beds, and caring for existing plantings. If you are a person who likes to be outside and get your hands dirty, please contact us to be part of our volunteer team! If you would like to register your interest in being a volunteer, please complete an online Volunteer Application. For more information, please call 207.729.6606 or visit www.pejepscothistorical.org.

Volunteers are key to that success and we’re keen to continue growing our volunteer team. We have a number of projects that we are working on behind the scenes in an effort to make our archives more accessible to researchers. Many of these projects involve digitizing and organizing documents. This work requires a detail-oriented mind and proficiency and willingness to work on computers. You will work under the supervision of PHC staff and no specialist or museum experience is necessary (although we always welcome it!). If you are interested in collections or archives this is an excellent opportunity for a bit of experience. If you would like to register your interest in being a volunteer, please complete an online Volunteer Application. For more information, please call 207.729.6606 or visit www.pejepscothistorical.org.
