Volunteer Opportunities at Seattle
At this time, we are not accepting applications for volunteers. Please monitor this page for updates of when we will be accepting new applications. If you are fascinated by history, enjoy working with the public, and want a challenging, yet meaningful volunteer experience, we may have what you're looking for at the National Archives at Seattle. Enthusiasm, flexibility, and an interest in sharing your appreciation for our American heritage are all equally important values we look for in our volunteers.
