  • Office Work (answering phones, filing)
  • Gift Shop Staff
  • Guiding Tours
  • Fundraising and Marketing

If you have any special talents, please let us know. This includes things such as mechanical, plumbing, carpentry, and electrical skills. We are also always looking for help planning and carrying out special fundraising and marketing events. If you have a talent, we can put it to work!
