Volunteer Opportunities at the Center - "Archaeology Without the Dirt"
The Center has volunteer opportunities and will help you Make a Difference! Maybe you've dreamed about being an archaeologist; maybe you enjoy history; maybe you have office skills already or would like to learn new skills. Volunteers are essential to the accomplishment of the Center's mission. Volunteers can commit to once a week or once a quarter. Families, couples, high school and college students and retired individuals are all encouraged and welcome to volunteer. As a small nonprofit, and the demands of being the only organization accepting archaeological collections from San Diego County, the Center volunteers perform many tasks key to the success of the Center.
