Looking for Volunteers for Capitol Discovery Day

The Capitol Preservation board will be presenting Capitol Discovery Day on the 18th of September. This is an event in which children, families, and all Utah citizens can experience the history and future of the Capitol. We will be looking for 20+ volunteers to help with a variety of volunteer opportunities during the event.

Volunteer duties would include:
1. Instructing children, families, and other individuals on the history of the Capitol.
2. Helping children with activities such as sculpting and constructing gum-drop domes.
3. Takedown and setup. Lifting should be limited to 50 lbs.

There will be three volunteer shifts available. We will be looking for five (5) volunteers from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., five (5) volunteers for 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and ten (10) volunteers from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Volunteers can dress casual but attire should be clean and appropriate for the setting. There will be light refreshments for the volunteers and they will be able to have a lunch break (volunteers would need to bring a lunch.) We may be accepting more than 20 volunteers so no need to worry if you get more than 20 people who express interest.
