About

AASLH provides leadership, resources, and advocacy to help the history community thrive and tell a shared history in which everyone belongs. Our vision: U.S. history organizations will prosper, tell everyone’s story, and be central to important conversations in their communities. As a result, the public will use critical thinking and emotional intelligence skills to actively engage with and address contemporary issues and to value history for its relevance to modern life.

Volunteer

We didn't find volunteer opportunities with AASLH. But it's worth checking their site periodically because things are changing quickly! You can also use Volunteer Match to check if your chosen cause or organization has volunteer openings or memberships.

VolunteerMatch believes that volunteering can change lives – starting with yours. When we connect with our communities and each other through service we can find our passion and purpose, build camaraderie and hope, and experience joy and gratitude.
