If meeting new people while helping to communicate the fascinating history of the West, the Gold Rush and the important heritage of railroading is of interest to you, consider becoming a California State Railroad Museum or Old Sacramento State Historic Park volunteer! Applications are being accepted now for volunteer positions in early 2013. A background in history is not required, just a commitment and willingness to participate in this worthwhile experience. An example of the variety of programs available for trained volunteers include serving as docents or Museum tour guides, participating in hands-on interactive educational programs for school groups, helping with weekend steam train operations, track construction restoration and maintenance, or even conducting much needed clerical work. Interested volunteers can download an application at www.parks.ca.gov/CapitalDistrict or contact the Museum's Volunteer Training Coordinator at 916-324-7593 or tgonsolis@parks.ca.gov.
