Think Tank: orientation/training programme for young people joining historical societies
Think Tank: orientation/training programme for young people joining historical societies
Murchison & District Historical Society wants to develop an orientation/training programme for young people - i.e. 14 - 18yo's - to become volunteers for their historical society. The RHSV thinks that this idea is worth putting effort into and seeing if we can develop a template that can be adopted by many historical societies. To facilitate this I’ve organised a Zoom meeting for 11am Tuesday 4 February 2025 for everyone interested to get together and share ideas and experiences and to work out what can be done. So please do join Kay and I on Zoom and bring your ideas and enthusiasm and we'll see what we can nut out together.
