Susan B. Anthony House seeks volunteers
Rochester, NY—The Susan B. Anthony House is in need of 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 remarkable woman who lived here for 40 years and to see the wonderful interior restoration now underway.
Register now for the training sessions for new volunteers to be from 9-11 a.m. October 7, 14, and 21. Call our volunteer liaison at 585-235-6124, ext. 16. Volunteers must attend all training sessions to become certified.
Volunteers at the Susan B. Anthony House share a deep commitment to preserving this national treasure—the home and belongings of Susan B. Anthony—and to sharing the 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.
Volunteers inspire visitors with Miss Anthony’s still timely and relevant story. Their time commitment can be as little as a few hours, once or twice a month.
