Susan B. Anthony House seeks volunteers
Rochester, NY—The Susan B. Anthony House seeks volunteers to serve as tour guides, greeters, and museum shop attendants, as more and more visitors come to the House to be inspired by the story of the remarkable woman who lived here for 40 years.
Register now for the 3-part training session for new volunteers scheduled from 9-11 a.m. on September 29, October 6, 13. Call our volunteer liaison at 585-235-6124, ext. 16. Volunteers must attend all training sessions to become certified. Volunteers are then asked to work a minimum of two 3-hour shifts each month.
Volunteers at the Susan B. Anthony House help preserve this national treasure—the home and belongings of Susan B. Anthony—and inspire visitors with the still timely and relevant story of her exceptional courage and determination. The woman’s rights activist and education reformer lived at 17 Madison Street during the most politically active period of her life, from 1866 until her death in 1906.
