Getting Involved

Home

Would you like to get involved with this exciting project?  There are many ways that you can:

• Worker at the site.  We have many volunteers working at the site, but there is always room for more.  We need people who are handy with their hands, can paint, dig the garden, and generally help as required.  For most tasks, no skill is required, except for a smile and a willingness to help.
• Fund Raising.  We need people who can assist with fund raising.  This requires innovative ideas, preparing letters and documents and possibly speaking with the potential donors.
• General running of the Bearspaw Historic Society.  We have a dedicated team who is willing and able to see this project to the end, but we can always use additional help, and a change over of positions.  Some new blood would be very beneficial to the society.
• Preparing for the school visits.  We will need someone to open the school as required for teachers, clean up (initially, hopefully we can hire someone once we have the cash flow), collect money, etc.
• Docents.  We will require people who can prepare material for classroom teachers on topics of local historic interest, to come to the school and make presentations on various topics of local interest, guide the students through an “old fashion” class typical of a one room school (all grades being taught at the same time), and assist in making the area around the school of interest to the students (bird feeders, paths with descriptions about the trees, shrubs, and natural grasses, etc.
