    Knowing that museums and archives are often heavily reliant on volunteers, and sometimes entirely volunteer-run, it’s important to think about strategies for creating projects that your volunteers can contribute to that utilize their skills to the advantage of the organization. We’ll practice identifying key needs and recruitment opportunities, mapping out channels of communication, and laying out timelines for a project of your choosing. It’s a great opportunity to collaborate with other volunteer-driven organizations and develop some project management skills in a humanities context.

    This program will include breakout groups and be "hands on" in a way that builds on material provided by the presenter. 

    About the Presenter: 
    Sarah Sharpton is the Outreach Manager at Pejepscot History Center.     Originally hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, Sarah Sharpton spent the last 3 years living in England, where she got her M.A. in Museums and Galleries from the University of Westminster. Sarah has held a variety of positions working for heritage sites and nonprofits in the US and UK (including a very strange four months giving tours on a pirate ship!). Her favorite experiences include internships with the City of Westminster Archives Centre in London and the Canterbury Shaker Village just down the road in New Hampshire.
