There Are Many Ways You Can Help!

Tour guides are an integral part of our  team. They engage the public on scheduled walking tours by sharing the  history and stories both at cemeteries and on our downtown Paved Over Prominence™ walking tours.  Start as an apprentice and become and official docent for Friends of Lebanon Cemetery!  Tour guides also help research and develop new tour material. Tour guides generally volunteer 3-6 hours per month.

 Minimum requirements:

•  Must be able to stand/walk, often on uneven/unpaved areas, for periods of up to 120 minutes.
•  Minimum age 18 years.
• Experience in public speaking, education, group engagement, storytelling, and a love of history are helpful.

It takes many hands to make a successful event! Consider a support role for our events. They are non-public-speaking roles.

Logistics volunteer: set  up/tear down; offers directions to public; brochure distribution; sign  placement; errand runner, answers basic questions, etc.

Our tours may need tour escorts to lead groups of 10 people to the various  stops along the established route. Escorts will travel from site to site  with the group, listening to presentations. The escort stays  with the group from start to finish.
