There are many opportunities
for Volunteers at the Abbe Museum. Becoming a Museum
volunteer can be a rewarding experience, offering
personal enrichment, increased knowledge of the
Native Cultures of Maine, and an opportunity to
develop new skills and meet new friends with similar
interests. At the same time, volunteers strengthen
the Museum and play an active role in its success.
The benefits
of volunteering are many.
Studies show that people who volunteer live longer,
healthier and happier lives.
• It
provides a way to be useful, help others, and do
good deeds.
• The work is enjoyable and makes one feel
needed.
• Volunteerism is good for the heart. It increases
your self-esteem and competence as well as lessens
stress.
As Winston
Churchill said, "You make a living by what
you get. You make a life by what you give."
