Volunteers

 

Aldie Mill Volunteer Program 
The Aldie Mill volunteer program welcomes docents interested in working in a variety of positions, including interpreters, Mill Gift Shop sales assistants, greeters, volunteer millers, clerical assistants, researchers, and many other duties.  Mill volunteers attend a training workshop every April and participate in the Mill’s special events, including a Volunteer Recognition Day held in the summer and Christmas at Aldie Mill.  Volunteers also received a 10% discount on purchases for all merchandise sold in the Mill Gift Shop.  Other benefits include receiving special news bulletins and advance announcements of new programs and events.

Volunteers are needed not only during the visitor season, which begins the last weekend of April and lasts until the last weekend in October, but also year-round for various programs and projects.

  • Invest in your community. Be a steward of this important historic restoration. Share in the pride of bringing this unique part of Loudoun County history alive for visitors.
  • Acquire new skills. Learn to interpret the water-powered Mill, research local history, and kindle an interest in the past for local school children.
  • Grow and learn. Expand your knowledge on a variety of subjects through workshops, field trips, and special lectures throughout the year.
  • Expand your social horizons. Meet others who share your interests at the Mill and at social activities and special events throughout the year.
