The American Historical Society of Germans from Russia is committed to welcoming audiences that reflect the diversity of Nebraska. Volunteers are a key partner in this mission, helping AHSGR create an inclusive environment where everyone can connect with the history of Germans from Russia and their story. We encourage people from all backgrounds and life experiences to apply to our volunteer programs. No experience is required, and training is offered for all programs. Volunteers perform a unique form of philanthropy that supports AHSGR and our visitors.
