Conner Prairie
This is a great way to earn money for your marchers account. Volunteers must be 14 years or older. Adults will earn $12.00 per hour (plus tips for Liquor Licensed positions!) and Students will earn $10.00 per hour (with 10% going to the general fund). Conner Prairie accounting cuts checks twice a month. Make sure that you always sign in and out for your shift, so that our treasurer can credit your student account correctly! Parents can volunteer with or without their student!
There will be a volunteer sign in /sign out clip board. Please sign in and ensure your student’s name is listed also so that the correct account is credited.
Remember Volunteers need to be at least 14 years old in order to volunteer. There are sometimes positions that require a liquor license and 21 years of age, but most of the time that is not the case.
