Volunteers, like you, are essential to the Elling Eide Center because you make it possible for us to offer our tours, special events, and programs. We could not do what we do without your generous investment of time, energy, and dedication to the center’s mission.
If you’re interested in being part of our team and are interested in serving our visitors who include local residents, tourists, students, as well as national and international scholars and researchers, please email our CEO, Mr. Harold Mitchell, at hmitchell@ellingoeide.org.
