Hudson-Athens Lighthouse: Volunteers
The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse is largely driven by an extraordinary group of volunteers who serve as members of the Board of Directors, on the Finance Committee, Restoration Committee, Events Committee, Grant & Fundraising Committee, Education and Programming Committee, House and Vessel Maintenance Committee and as captains of our workboat and docents for all of the public tours.
The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse has many opportunities for volunteers of all ages so if you are interested in helping us, please fill out this interest form and our volunteer coordinator will reach out with a list of opportunities to choose from!
