Volunteering gives you a chance to learn more about petroleum heritage and share your knowledge with others.
There are as many reasons to volunteer as there are people who do. Everyone has a different motivation, but no matter what that motivation may be, a decision to volunteer benefits everyone involved.
At Drake Well, there are once-a-week and once-in-a-while volunteer opportunities available. You can choose what's best for you and your time schedule.
The following list is a small sampling of the endless possibilities a volunteer can have at the museum:
• Guiding School Tours
• Special Event Helpers
• Helper at Pithole
• Carpentry and Construction
• Groundskeeper
• Museum Store
• Gardener
Beginning in May, Drake Well Museum is bustling with school tours from around the area. If you are interested in becoming a tour guide and working with youth from kindergarten – twelfth grade, call Mark Ware the museum's education coordinator at (814) 827-2799 Ext. 106.
