From a Museum docent bringing history to life for visitors from all over the world or a Native Texas Park guide explaining Mrs. Laura Bush’s longstanding commitment to environmental conservation to an Education docent giving a presentation about the Founding Fathers to Camp43 students or an Archives volunteer digitizing a time-sensitive FOIA request, each volunteer makes a difference.
