Make Memories While Making History! Volunteer with us!

We welcome and depend on volunteers of all types to support Poulsbo Historical Society and its museum venues. Most volunteers commit to a weekly morning or afternoon shift.

By volunteering with us, you will have the chance to:

  • Learn more about Poulsbo’s history: Gain in-depth knowledge and insights into our local heritage.
  • Meet other people from the area: Build new friendships and expand your network within the community.
  • Connect with visitors from around the world: Share our history with a diverse group of people and gain unique perspectives.
  • Contribute to the quality of the community: Play a vital role in enhancing the cultural richness and quality of life in Poulsbo.

Your dedication and support are crucial to our mission, and we would be thrilled to have you join our team of volunteers. Whether you have a few hours to spare each week or are looking for a more regular commitment, there is a place for you with us.
