Our Volunteers
An important part of any museum complex is the family of devoted volunteers that form it's community. Mont De Lancey relies on a team of junior and veteran volunteers, and is always looking for more people to join the team. We have a great community spirit amongst our people, and our people have a great pride in the work that they do to advance the facilities and resources of Mont De Lancey.
In 2007 eighteen volunteers were honoured for fifteen years of unbroken service to Mont De Lancey. Seventy have been honoured for ten years. From the earliest days of the house restoration and building program volunteers working behind the behind the scenes have driven Mont De Lancey forward. With ongoing maintenance and restoration work and new projects on the drawing board, the opportunities for volunteers are limitless.
Volunteers are sought for the following positions:
Guiding
Showing people around our great historical homestead and Museum.
Reception
Welcoming visitors to Historic Mont De Lancey and selling local products.
Gardening
Do you have a green thumb? We meet every Tuesday.
Blacksmiths
Membership required, work on Sundays.
Maintenance
Are you handy with tools or a paint brush? We have a dedicated team of helpers working every Saturday.
Data Entry and Catalogue Updating
Our online database facility requires volunteers who can work from home and enter updated and new
items into the vast catalogue of exhibits held by the museum
... as well as Machinery Restoration, Housekeeping, Promotion and Fundraising.
