We are currently recruiting for a new volunteer press officer and new volunteer core group members to join our team for the new year. You will receive training in heritage skills such as interviewing and recording oral histories, how to mount an exhibition and archive photo research. We also need people to help with finding out about historical hot spots in Dorset so we can link them to our Geocaching trail. You will also gain experience working in a fun inclusive team and if you wish help run workshops about our projects in Dorset Youth clubs. You can do all this or just a small bit, be out and about or work quietly in our office. It is a great opportunity to use or increase your skills if you are not in work at present. We do project work in the day time and after school hours.
Your volunteer work can be accredited in a number of ways which is proven to help in job hunting and college applications.

Dorset Young Remembers is a unique project. We are twenty young volunteers helping Dorset youth clubs discover their 70 year old history. It goes from tents to twitter and from hiking to hot pants. We are using games, oral history recordings, Geocaching and an exhibition at Dorset County Museum in 2012 to make this story come alive.
