Volunteer Interest Form

The St. Louis Genealogical Society is an all-volunteer membership organization. Because the Society has no paid staff members, volunteers are a vital part of the organization. Whether you want to volunteer once a week or once a year, we have a place for you! Volunteers can choose the project(s) they find most interesting or we can recommend an area of particular need. Volunteer training is available and required for certain tasks.

Please review the list of volunteer opportunities below and indicate your area(s) of interest. Fill in this form, send it, and our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you.
