Please visit the new page to apply.
Hello,
My name is Keeta Simone, Vice President of Harrison House. This Historic Landmark on the Pioneer Trail in Vegas is rich with a history we aim to preserve while ushering in a green future through methods of sustainability in permaculture, water and gardening. We also aim to become a Leeds certified Net Zero property.
There are several ongoing projects in these areas and we seek eager and qualified volunteers to jump right in and roll up their sleeves!
Currently Harrison House is in need of individuals with skills in but not limited to organization, research, light administrative duties that can be done for the most part remotely. We would prefer to meet with volunteers perhaps once/week or bi-weekly. Video Conferencing is also an option.
There are several grants and events we have approaching all while finishing our community garden. Someone with event planning in their background, social media management, strong writing skills and even a background in Journalism would be helpful but not a deal breaker.
Feel free to reach me at currytabancalv@gmail.com

Description
In 1942, Genevieve Harrison opened her home to traveling enterrainers, business people, and divorcing couples who were unable to stay at Las Vegas strip hotels due to segregation laws. Nat King Cole, Pearl Bailey, and Sammy Davis Jr. ( a visitor so frequesnt that there is a room named after him). In the course of one week in 1949 the house was graced with Eddie (Rochester) Anderson, singer Bob Parrish, the Edwards Sisters, the Jubalaires and musician Arthur Lee Simpkins. The Harrison House is one of the last standing examples of a Las Vegas boarding house.
The Harrison House still functions as a gathering place. To look towards the future, one primary goal is to renovate the Harrison House as a certifiable LEED Green Historic Building. Now a cultural center, we at the Harrison House seek to share the history of this house and the surrounding Historic Westside to any inquisitive traveler.
