Education Volunteers Needed!
Do you love working with children and learning about history?
Are you available on weekday mornings or afternoons?
We are currently presenting four programs for area schools and homeschools:
- Journey to Sheboygan County
- Historic Jobs of Sheboygan County
- First Peoples of Sheboygan County
- The Civil War and Sheboygan County
Full-Day Education programs offer students in grades 2-6 the opportunity to experience American History hands-on, through the lens of Sheboygan County. Open to public and private schools and homeschool groups, our Full-Day Education Programs run from 9:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. and are designed to meet Wisconsin and District curriculum standards.
As an example, Our Civil War program offers five hours of hands-on and gallery activities. Students travel back to the time of the Civil War and learn about its impact on the lives of people in Sheboygan County. Students “enlist” in the Union Army, march with a model rifle, send telegraph messages, make a toy drum, carry a stretcher, try out crutches, design a flag, play period games, crawl into in a dog tent, sample chicory coffee, pose for a long-exposure photo, and much more. Volunteers make these activities possible, working alongside staff and other volunteers with groups of 3-8 students at a time.
As we ramp back up to serving more than 3,000 students annually, we need volunteers to help. No teaching experience necessary. We provide training and let you choose your interests. Sign up for morning shifts, afternoon shifts, or full day shifts. If you or someone you know might be interested, let’s talk. We’d love to hear from you! Contact Sheboygan County Museum's volunteer coordinator at (920) 458-1103 ext. 7105 or erin.brehmer@sheboygancounty.com.
All volunteers are required to fill out a volunteer form and agree to a background check.
