Giving Back, Growing Together
Volunteering at Little Bear School House Museum and Historical Society is a rewarding way to make a difference in the lives of children and families while preserving the history of our community. We welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds who share our passion for education, storytelling, and cultural preservation. Volunteers play a vital role in everything we do, from assisting with daily programs and guiding children through activities to helping with community events and maintaining our historic building. By volunteering, you become part of a team that values collaboration, kindness, and shared purpose. The impact of your time and energy is felt not only by the children who benefit from your guidance but also by the families who see the community coming together to support their growth. Whether you can give a few hours a month or a regular weekly commitment, your help is to create a safe, enriching, and joyful environment for all.
Why Volunteer With Us
Becoming a volunteer at Little Bear School House Museum and Historical Society is more than simply giving your time—it is about becoming part of a legacy that connects generations. When you volunteer, you are not only supporting children in their learning and growth but also helping to preserve the stories, artifacts, and traditions that define our community. Every task, whether big or small, contributes to a larger mission of education and cultural preservation. Volunteers often tell us that their experiences here are deeply fulfilling, as they see firsthand the joy on a child’s face when they discover something new or the pride in a parent’s eyes when they witness their child’s growth. Volunteering also provides opportunities for personal enrichment, allowing individuals to learn new skills, build friendships, and feel a stronger sense of belonging. By joining us, you become part of a circle of care and connection that extends far beyond the museum walls, leaving a lasting impact on both the present and the future of our community.
Ways You Can Help
There are many meaningful ways to contribute as a volunteer, and each one plays an important role in supporting our mission. Some volunteers choose to work directly with children, guiding them through hands-on activities, storytelling sessions, or creative projects that bring history to life. Others assist with community events, helping to organize festivals, workshops, and family gatherings that strengthen the bonds between neighbors. For those who enjoy behind-the-scenes work, opportunities include maintaining our historic building, cataloging artifacts, or supporting administrative tasks that keep our programs running smoothly. No matter your skills or interests, there is a place for you here. We value every contribution, whether it is a few hours a month or a regular weekly commitment, and we provide training and support to ensure that you feel confident and appreciated in your role. By offering your time and talents, you help us create a safe, enriching, and joyful environment where children and families can learn, grow, and connect with their heritage.
