Mosby Heritage Area Association - Become a Volunteer!

For our programs and activities to be successful, MHAA relies on a network of volunteers to perform a variety of jobs and duties.

As a goal and to support the 15th anniversary of MHAA’s founding, MHAA hopes to add 150 new volunteers during the course of 2010. Volunteers interested in broadening their role in MHAA’s activities will be considered for the Advisory Board and the Board of Directors as part of becoming a certified MHAA Volunteer.

Volunteer opportunities exist in the headquarters office, in the field, at MHAA events and in the five counties that comprise the Mosby Heritage Area. But you don’t need to live in one of these counties to become a certified MHAA Volunteer. And, we have volunteer opportunities that may be done remotely…thanks to advances in technology.

So, if you live in Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia, Texas or California--or anywhere in between--and like to write, proofread, or edit data lists or press releases, we would love to hear from you about adding your expertise to our volunteer corps.

Here’s a partial list of our volunteer opportunities:

-Helping at MHAA Events with greeting and registering our guests.
-Helping with our School Programs such as the Aldie Triangle
-Assembling Mailings to prospective members, new members and renewals.
-Data Entry for the Master Database.
