Developing Volunteerism Workshop featured at the 2023 Oregon Heritage VIRTUAL Summit
We invited the University of Kansas Community Toolbox folks to come out and do the practical workshop component of the 2023 Oregon Heritage VIRTUAL Summit, April 27-28:
Developing Volunteerism Workshop, Jerry Schultz, Ph.D., University of Kansas, Community Tool Box
The time, energy and resources that volunteers offer are critical to the success of most organizations, and the jobs done by volunteers are as varied as the people who do them. This workshop will train participants to enhance volunteerism in their organization by learning to: 1) develop a plan for involving volunteers that will bring needed skills, save money, increase community ownership and bring new energy to their efforts; 2) grow their organization, reduce burden on other staff, and diversify their organization by recruiting volunteers; 3) develop an effective volunteer orientation to help new volunteers understand and adjust to the organization and their roles; and 4) teach new volunteers the skills they need to function effectively as part of the organization by creating a training plan.  Though presentations, practice activities and a training resource module, participants will learn that volunteering can be a tremendously rewarding experience, both for the individual who offers their time and for the organization to which it is given if the volunteer feels that their contribution is well used and useful.
This is just one of the events taking place during the Summit. Other events include facilitated discussion about community engagement factoring into volunteer strategies, panels from Oregon volunteer managers AND Oregon volunteers, and opportunities to win raffle items such as mini-grants for volunteer appreciation and other volunteer resources.
Registration is only $5/person so be sure to check out the schedule of events and registration instructions here<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/Heritage-Summit.aspx>.

Northwest Archivists Archivist-in-Residence program open for applications
Award Overview
Northwest Archivists, Inc. is offering a $7,000 stipend for one graduate student (or recent graduate within two years of March 31, 2023) to receive an Archivist-in-Residence opportunity. The purpose of this residency is three-fold:  1. To offer upcoming and new professionals with paid career development opportunities to apply knowledge in archives, libraries, museums, or a related field; 2. To teach new archivists how to accurately calculate the value of their education, experience, and overall value as an archivist; and 3. To provide an opportunity for archival organizations to work toward the long term goal of eliminating unpaid work within the field.  The residency may last up to 12 weeks to be completed by the end of the current calendar year. The resident will receive a one-year complimentary membership to Northwest Archivists.
This is a unique experience for a new professional to develop a project based on their goals and skills and work directly with an organization to determine the project’s scope, goals, and outcomes. The Archivist-in-Residence will be managed by an engaged supervisor assigned by the host organization, though the resident may interact and work under the temporary direction of a number of other employees depending on the scope of the project.
Please note: A graduate student is a student who is enrolled and currently attending classes for a masters-level degree.
Requirements
The resident must produce a monthly report for each month of employment and submit it to the NWA Paid Internship Committee. Monthly reports should include: number of hours worked, progress on the project, and any goals or outcomes completed. The resident will prepare a blogpost for publication in Northwest Archivists Blog detailing their experience after completion of the residency. Host organization will submit an end of residency report detailing how the resident met the goals of the residency.
Eligibility
Applicants must be currently enrolled in a graduate-level program or have graduated within two years of March 31, 2023. The award does not define the type of graduate program as to encourage both traditional and interdisciplinary programs. NWA welcomes diversity in all respects, including but not limited to age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, and personal background.
The residency may be applied to any archival organization that is within the geographic region covered by Northwest Archivists membership (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington). The host organization must be an institution or agency responsible for the custody, study, teaching, control, or use of records, archives, and/or personal papers. Applicants outside the Northwest Archivists region are welcome to apply. There is no requirement for the Archivist-in-Residence to reside in the Northwest and this opportunity supports both in-person and remote work models.
Application Process
The Archivist-in-Residency Award application will be opened February 2023. Applications will be due April 14, 2023 at 11:59pm Pacific. The NWA Paid Internship Committee will review applications and select the Archivist-in-Residence and host organization based upon their joint application. Final selection will be communicated to applicants at the time of the committee’s decision, followed by a public announcement via NWA communication channels. This typically occurs in conjunction with the NWA Annual Meeting, May 2023. The residency may start as soon as notification has been given and must be completed by the end of the calendar year.
This is a joint application between the resident and the organization. The resident should propose a project or experience specific to the site and work with the organization to clarify scope of project, timeline, supervisor, goals, and project outcomes. The organization and supervisor must be determined in advance of final application.
For final consideration, the applicant should complete the application form<https://northwestarchivistsinc.wildapricot.org/resources/Documents/Final%20Draft%20of%20NWA%20AiR%20Application%202023.docx> in full and submit it along with a 2-page resume to: rachael at relicura.com.
