Glengarry Pioneer Museum volunteers provide hours of valuable assistance. Some help on a regular basis, while others prefer to be called “as-needed.” The GPM has a deep tradition of volunteer’s giving their time. Without it the museum would not be where it is today.
As a volunteer with us we hope you are able to gain as equally, if not more, than you are giving to us. Volunteering is a rewarding experience and we invite you to join us in whatever capacity is good for you.
