The new volunteer staff program provides job skill training and attendance to special events.
The Plant City Photo Archives and History Center has initiated a new volunteer staff program open to both clerical and professional volunteers.
Clerical volunteers will be responsible for greeting visitors, answering phones, filing and more. Professional volunteers will research and organize materials.
Relatively regular hours are preferred, however the days and hours are flexible. All work will be performed at the Photo Archives facility in downtown Plant City.
Executive Director Gil Gott Gott said the benefits of volunteering include on the job training, a good work environment, opportunity to meet and work with the public, improvement of job skills, attendance at certain special events and the satisfaction of providing service for the community. Volunteers must be at least sixteen years old, in good health, and must be able to read and write English. Experienced senior citizens are welcomed and encouraged to inquire. Knowledge of the local area is helpful.
Orientation sessions are planned for the near future, depending upon the interests of the applicants.
For further information, interested individuals may visit the Photo Archives at 106 S. Evers St., call the office at (813) 754.1578 or email Gott at gil@plantcityphotoarchives.org. Applications for a volunteer staff position may be picked up at the office.
