Summer Youth Classes:
Every year the NRHC holds summer classes for
children in grades K-5. Volunteers at this event

Assisting with mailings and other
general office needs.
Community Programs:
The NRHC participates in a number of community

Volunteers are needed to help promote the Center

Children’s programming:
The NRHC hosts several children’s programs a
year including quarterly corrals for the Junior
Rough Riders, our children’s membership group.
Volunteers help us to prepare and guide the
children through fun and exciting learning activities.
Ranch Hosts:
Ranch Hosts help us bring the NRHC to life by
allowing visitor to see what life would have
been like for the people of the past. Members
of this organization are dedicated volunteers
who share their love and knowledge of
history through period interpretation and demonstration.
