Volunteer with HSOG
Volunteers are crucial to the success of the HSOG’s programs and events. Will you consider helping us? The HSOG continuously recruits volunteers throughout the year.
The volunteers of the HSOG are an important and dedicated group crucial to our operations. They play an important role in helping to tell Ocean Grove’s story.
Whether it’s greeting visitors at Centennial Cottage, working behind the scenes of a new exhibition at the Museum, or inspiring school kids to explore Ocean Grove’s history, we have a wide variety of roles and opportunities to use your special skills to bring our history to life. Opportunities are available to suit multiple interests, time, and skill levels.
All volunteers are encouraged to become Members of the HSOG.

By volunteering, you are giving a gift of your time, your effort, and your commitment. As part of the HSOG volunteer staff, you will have the opportunity to present and educate visitors on the history of Ocean Grove. In turn, with ongoing training and support, you will learn about a diverse number of subjects. Volunteering also offers you the opportunity to meet interesting people from all parts of the area who share your volunteer passion and interest. The HSOG honors its volunteers each year with an appreciation event and gifts.

The HSOG operates with a virtually volunteer staff and a limited budget. Without our volunteers, the HSOG simply would not exist. Your gift of time, effort, and commitment allow us to grow and expand our mission into the community.
