We Need Your Help! In order for us to bring the education program to as many children (and parents ) in Shawnee County as possible, we need your help!  We need volunteers to serve as docents in the History After School program and to help construct curriculum.  We need curriculum supplies.  We need voice and video recording equipment, a flatbed scanner and copier, a computer with ample memory, and audio and video editing software. And of course we could always use direct donations. If you have something you would like to donate or have questions about volunteering, please contact (785) 234-6097.
