Needs From: Lowcountry Volunteer Connections

The Program Coordinator works with the Executive Director and a team of volunteers on organizing all aspects of classes, presentations and events for The Heritage Library. This opportunity requires strong organization, communication and computer skills and the ability to work on multiple projects at the same time. It involves scheduling, coordinating roles with volunteers, event organization and timey communications. The time needed for this position is approximately 10 - 12 hours per month and work can be completed at the Library and from home. Make this a fun opportunity while working with volunteers providing, history and genealogy classes, historic site tours and special events like Authors & Afternoon Tea and History and Happy Hour. 

Join a great team! The Heritage Library is looking for people to serve as tour characters and docents at 2 historical properties. The library owns Ft. Mitchel, a Civil War era earthworks battery located on Skull Creek, and Zion Chapel of Ease Cemetery on the corner of William Hilton Parkway and Matthews Drive, a Colonial era cemetery that includes grave markers for four American Revolutionary War Patriots and the Baynard Mausoleum. The Library conducts site tours on a seasonal basis and training and costumes are provided.

This position requires teamwork and good people and presentation skills. Tours are presented by groups of 2-4 so this is great opportunity for working with others and building friendships. It is also a lesson in local history that you then can share with visitors to the site and the Island. Schedules are very flexible. You will also get to work with a great team of volunteers that work with the Library on a regular basis.
