Warning! This is a super fun opportunity! Volunteers will help students literally uncover the riverfront history of downtown Minneapolis. No archaeological experience is needed but volunteers should have an interest in youth education and history. Volunteers will assist lead staff at a simulated Archeological Dig located at Mill Ruins Park in downtown Minneapolis. This position requires the ability to work in an outdoor setting, kneel and do some light lifting. The dig is part of the National Park Service program, Journey to the Falls. Find out more about it at www.nps.gov/miss
