Volunteer With Us!

The purpose of our Volunteer Program is to effectively utilize the talents, skills and knowledge of the people of this community to extend the services offered to our community and to educate the public about the history of Summerland and its surrounding area.

Utilizing volunteers does more than help us to be more cost effective (although that is important too). You may have skills, expertise, knowledge, contacts, enthusiasm or a host of other valuable resources to contribute to our organization. Perhaps over time you may well move through several roles, which utilize different aspects of your help.
