Service Opportunities – Enid

Enid Area:

Volunteers are essential to the mission of the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center! Each volunteer is a valued member of the Heritage Center team, contributing their time, talent, experience and energy to telling the exciting story of the Cherokee Strip.

A variety of opportunities are available to volunteers, promising a challenging, enjoyable and rewarding volunteer experience. Along the way, volunteers build new relationships, impact the lives of others, and learn about the people and events that have shaped Northwest Oklahoma.
