Would you like to meet people from across Canada, learn about your local history and become active in cultural events? Join the Minden Hills Cultural Centre volunteer team. The centre is actively recruiting volunteers for reception coverage and assisting with upcoming events. You tell us your interests and how much time you have to offer and we will find an activity to match your needs. Students are welcome to do community service hours with us. Please contact the centre at 705-286-2808 or visit the Cultural Centre at 176 Bobcaygeon Road, Minden.

The Centre offers a variety of volunteer opportunities from helping with children’s workshops,  special events, gift shop sales desk, leading tours around the Museum, R.D. Lawrence Place or the Gallery, or just saying "Hello, welcome!” Please contact the Cultural Centre Director if you are interested in being part of this vibrant Centre as a volunteer. Following are some of the typical opportunities available at the Cultural Centre:

We Want You!
Front Desk Attendant: We have a need for front desk reception volunteers at the Gallery and R.D. Lawrence Place. Our front desk attendants welcome visitors into the Cultural Centre buildings, invite them to ask questions about current exhibits, programs or events, take phone calls and help us with front-of-house administrative tasks and gift shop sales. This is usually a two-hour commitment between 12 pm and 2 pm, Tuesday to Saturday. 
Please contact Laurie Carmount at 705-286-3763.
