Goodwill Industries is looking for a Volunteer Museum Coordinator

Goodwill Industries of the CSRA has a unique opportunity for a
volunteer to make history come alive here in Augusta!

As part of Phase II of the construction of Augusta’s Career Campus, Goodwill is building a Chapel and Museum to Goodwill’s Methodist Minister Founder, Reverend Edgar Helms. Rev. Helms started Goodwill in 1902 as America’s first social entrepreneur, partnering with the business community to create a self-sustaining education and training program that offered the unemployed a “hand up” out of poverty.

We are looking for a volunteer with museum experience to assist us in the following areas:
• Help finalize the design of the Helms Museum space.
• Consult the architect and designers on the care and display of historic pieces in the museum.
• Assist in the overall plan of display for historic items to include important documents, photographs, and historic objects related to Goodwill’s founder and 110-year history.
• Assist with the securing of historical items from autonomous Goodwill organizations from around the world.

Sound interesting? Contact Amy Breitmann, Volunteer Manager for more information at abretimann@goodwillworks.org or 706-650-5760.
