Opportunities for volunteers are always changing depending on the needs of the museum. A wide range of essential services are provided by the BRHS volunteers in the following areas:
- Fire Bay Gift Shop
- Special Events
- Town Hall Greeter/Visitor Services
- Children’s Programs
| - Archival Services
- Tour Guide (Docent)
- Administrative Assistance

After your application is reviewed, an appointment will be made with you for an interview to match your skills and availability to the current needs of the Historical Society and Museum. These appointments fall on the dates of the volunteer Meet and Greet sessions. These orientation meetings are held monthly at Town Hall (check the Calendar of Events page) to provide potential volunteers with specific details of training and scheduling options of the area(s) in which you may serve. (Please note: Training and update classes for docents who conduct tours are usually held in the Fall.)
