The Willamette Heritage Center is hopping with activity all year long, from living
history to the Handweavers' Sale, gallery openings, Magic

so much more! Be a part of the fun - join us as an events volunteer. We
have chores galore to suit almost every volunteer interest.
Our

can be enhanced by spending time at Mission Mill. For starters, we
offer
internships in research/writing, archives/artifacts, marketing, education
and hospitality. Hours and exact duties will be adjusted to suit a
student's
needs. Drama, marketing and business, English, education, history,
archaeology, and even botany majors can find an internship here! |
