NGS: Volunteer opportunities for you and the youth in your life

One of the best ways that you can support the genealogical community is through volunteering. Volunteering my time, energy, and know how is something I love to do and I know many of you do too.  Often I am accused of giving too much, and I am sure many of you can relate to that statement.  However, NGS needs us this May, so I am going to ignore those little birdies and raise my hand anyway. 

In fact, do you have a responsible teenager who is an aspiring genealogist?  If so they can volunteer too!  The conference is looking for teenagers who would be willing to stuff bags on Monday morning, work registration, or be room monitors.  This would be a great way for them to get a feel for the community and not feel awkward since they are helping out and staying busy.

I was sent the following information about volunteering at NGS in May.  Hopefully you see something on here that catches your attention and will make you want to assist in the event!  I will see you there since I am off to volunteer right now.  Read all about volunteering below or check out the Virginia Genealogical Society website for further information.
