Volunteer

We encourage everyone to volunteer. If you'd like to help, use this link to provide your contact information and interests. Or give us a call. Whether you are a historical preservationist or a first-time gardener, we welcome you to help with the house. Join our Board, help with grant-writing, or offer your expertise and skill sets—let us know what you are interested in doing and we will find a job for you. The Cohen Bray House has no paid staff. We need you!

We can take groups or individuals. Start by coming to a work party on Saturdays.
