Lectures & Special Events Volunteer

Lectures & Special Event Volunteer

Throughout the year, Historic Seattle offers opportunities to learn from the experts. They share with our audiences their knowledge about a particular subject through lecture, slide shows, demonstrations, site visits and much more.

At lectures and events volunteers assist with: event registration, act as greeters and ticket takers, help to sell books, assist with sudio visual needs and other duties as defined. We typically use between 3-5 volunteers per event and and event generally runs 2-4 hours. Many of the events occur during a week night or on the wekend.

If you enjoy hearing from the experts, interacting with people and are willing to spend a couple of hours making new friends, consider signing up to be a lecture or special event volunteer.
