Volunteer for THD

We need 135 judges and volunteers to provide a great experience for the students, educators, and their families. You can volunteer for a half-day (8:00 am to 12:30 pm) or a full day (8:00 am to 2:30 pm). The only requirements are that 1) you like history and that 2) you can be kind to children. A required orientation is hosted the morning of the contest. A continental breakfast and full lunch are provided for all volunteers. Would you like to join us on Sat., Apr. 15, 2023? Complete the questionnaire and someone in our office will be in contact!
