S’edav Va’aki Museum Launches New Teen Volunteer Initiative

The S'edav Va'aki Museum has officially launched its Teen Volunteer Program, inviting high school students aged 14-17 to apply starting September 3, 2024.

Volunteers will work closely with the museum's AmeriCorps VISTA, participating in activities such as artifact interactions, outdoor educational programs, and leading indoor exhibits.
