Historic Rugby Volunteers Appreciation & Opportunities

Thank you, Volunteers!

Where would we be without our volunteers? We depend on volunteers for almost everything we do at Historic Rugby, from helping in the office to fixing buildings, from maintaining our many trails to decorating the village, from keeping our archives updated, giving site tours, and maintaining our gardens to creating, developing, and staffing programs and events!

Bringing the Village to Life

We are fortunate to have such a talented and dedicated group of people to help us, but we need YOUR help, too!

There are many jobs in Historic Rugby that you can help us with, whether you are a Historic Rugby member or nonmember. Please read below for our standard volunteer opportunities.
