Request for Volunteer Jobs
Shelving Project Volunteer
The museum is getting new shelving this year, 2024. We are searching for 16 volunteers to dedicate time to this large project. This project will take some time, and your help will be called upon throughout the project, which is estimated to last 40 weeks. There will be many gaps where volunteers will not be needed in that timeframe. The qualified volunteer must be detail-oriented, able to follow directions and use those directions to work in a small group. Must be able to bend, lift, and carry up to 30 lbs. Any larger objects will be team lifts. Along with the ability to move items, we are looking for people with general computer skills to input information.
Volunteer process general process and thoughts:
- Gather 16 volunteers
- One-day of training, moving plan, proper handling, and paperwork trails. (5 hours)
- One-day of working together moving large items (5-6 hours)
- Break into groups of four. Each group of four will coordinate days and times they can work to move items out of the storage area. (March-May)
- One-day training on what, where, and how items go back into storage (5-6 hours)
- Small groups will coordinate days and times they can work to move items into storage (July-September)
Video Creator/Editor Volunteer
The Roseau County Museum is searching for a volunteer video creator/editor. The right person will create short videos telling the county’s history or various topics. Topics will be chosen by Museum staff.
The goal is to create videos using still images and voice-overs to tell the story. The idea is to create videos for museum patrons to access when visiting the museum. Each video would be around 5 minutes long. The hope is to have ten videos created.
This job is open to anyone who can create videos of this type. The qualified individual must submit a sample of work that they have created. The videos can be created through any program the videographer has available to them. This job can be done at your home.
The timeline still needs to be set, but I would like them to be available starting in August 2024.
The job is a volunteer position with a stipend of money available that will be discussed with the right candidate. Open to all ages, capable of creating our needs. Must be able to work independently from home. The museum will provide topics and information.
When done, all rights will be turned over to the museum.
