GET INVOLVED

If the Frontenac sounds like a place you would enjoy, please bring your ideas, enthusiasm and energy to help us in any way you can.  We are an all-volunteer organization and have a variety of functions that need people.  Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time or spreading news about us through word of mouth, you are making a difference and we thank you.

There are many ways a student can help the museum. One position on the Board of Trustees is reserved for a high school student with an interest in history and community service. The student provides perspective and feedback to the board on planning activities and events. They also promote and communicate museum happenings to fellow students.  We encourage the student to suggest, endorse and help facilitate youth oriented programs and activities which the museum can offer.  If you are interested in joining the board, please email the museum at frontenac178@gmail.com.
