Orientation for potential new volunteers on Sept. 8
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Anyone who wants to aid in telling the story of our 16th president has the opportunity when the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum welcomes new volunteers at an orientation session, Wednesday, Sept. 8.
The event will spell out how to join the team that greets visitors, assists at events, helps researchers and much more.
The one-hour session begins at 5:30 p.m. in the presidential library’s Multi- Purpose Room (112 N. Sixth Street., Springfield). Learn about the volunteer opportunities available and what you need to know about the library and museum.
Volunteers will be asked to attend three additional training sessions: Wednesday, Sept. 22; Wednesday, Sept. 29; and Tuesday, Oct. 5. Each session starts at 5:30 p.m.
