Volunteers have been the backbone of the organization since its founding in 1974 and continue to be involved at all levels and in all activities.
Tour Guides -Guides are needed to conduct tours of the village for HYS Elderhostel program participants, adult and student groups, and for special programs throughout the year. After a basic training course, volunteer guides develop their own interpretive tour based on the training materials and their particular area of interest.
