The Katy Heritage Society has been protecting and preserving historic resources in the Katy area for over 30 years. It is important work and right now we have opportunities for new volunteers. If you've been thinking you might like to get more involved in the Katy community, make some new friends and do something important, we'd like to hear from you!
Current opportunities:
Docents - volunteers who work at the houses when they are open the first weekend of every month. Requires a commitment to work one 3 hour shift at least 3 times a year. You will learn about our local history, can sign up to do this with a friend and enjoy some time in our beautiful historic homes.
Special Events Chairmen - Want to take on just one event? We have events at Christmas, Easter, July 4 and would love to do more. We'd like to bring back our free park concerts and are open to new ideas. Take on being the chairman one event or volunteer to help.
Writers - We submit an article of historic interest for publication in a local magazine every month. Do you enjoy writing? Why not sign up for this and see your name in print?
Thinking you don't have time? It takes only the time you're willing to give us, and your work will be appreciated by the entire Katy community and thousands of visitors. Please consider getting involved with the good work of the Katy Heritage Society.
If you are not ready to volunteer, please pass this information along to someone you think may be!
