Volunteer Job Description
Volunteers will work with an OSV staff member to procure donations to the Village’s annual Field of Flags campaign. Stationed in the Visitor Center, volunteers will promote and encourage donations to the Village’s Field of Flags campaign through the purchase of an American Flag, as well as process donations. Volunteers must be:

- Enthusiastic, outgoing and friendly

- Physically able to be active for four hours

- Confident in asking visitors to purchase flags

- A prompt and proud ambassador of Old Sturbridge Village

Shifts are 4 hours in length. A brief orientation will be provided to volunteers upon arriving at Old Sturbridge Village’s Visitor Center. Volunteers are asked to dress business casual - no jeans or shorts. Volunteers are also required to notify the Village 48-hours in advance if they are not able to fulfill their volunteer commitment.

About Field of Flags
Each year Old Sturbridge Village is proud to salute the brave men and women who serve our great nation by providing free admission to members of the military and their families. As a Blue Star Museum, the Village provides free daytime admission for active-duty and retired-career U.S. Military, National Guard and Reserve personnel and their families. The Field of Flags campaign enables the Village to offset the cost of providing free admission year-round. The Field of Flags is our way of recognizing the sacrifices of military members and their families and the generosity of our donors.
