Volunteer Opportunities

Becoming a volunteer with AFHS after moving to Calgary has helped me meet new people. Being editor of the Chinook Arch newsletter has sharpened my editing and writing skills. I also enjoy volunteering at the AFHS Library. Being able to help other people learn more about their family is very rewarding!

We just couldn’t manage without all the dedicated people doing everything from running the library to helping new members to organizing audio/visual equipment at meetings. We have a lot of fun working together and enjoy each other’s company. From occasional tasks to Director positions on the Board, there are lots of ways to get involved as a volunteer with AFHS!

Opportunities to contribute include:

  • Indexing and preserving local historical records
  • Assisting members find resources as a volunteer librarian
  • Sharing your knowledge by speaking at our monthly meetings or leading the discussion at a special interest group
  • Collaborating on the Board of Directors to ensure the continued success of AFHS
  • Raising funds for the Society by working as a volunteer at a casino
  • Planning our bi-annual genealogy conference

Become involved! Make life-long friends!
