Why Volunteer

Whether you have a few hours a month or lots of time, the Kendall County Historical Society offers opportunities to explore and share your interests and skills. Volunteer contributions allow the Society to accomplish its goals while keeping expenses to a minimum.

Volunteers of all ages are welcome. This shared work helps preserve the rich heritage of Kendall County and passes knowledge to future generations.
