Interpretations include woodworking, textile making, sewing, cooking, crafts, storytelling, and music. Office assistants Latta has a wonderful collection of archival materials. Volunteers catalog and manage the collection. Secretarial assistance, including phone answering and basic office tasks, is always welcome. Several times a year, Historic Latta Plantation hosts festivals and special events.
Assistants work with marketing, volunteer coordination, and mailings.
Researchers and writers Locating and digesting relevant materials, as well as writing up findings for other volunteers to use, benefits everyone, because it helps Latta to continuously improve. Decorators and event set-up volunteers Latta's special events often need an artistic touch, such as decorating the plantation authentically for Christmas, and sometimes require muscle, such as for rearranging artifacts. Volunteers also work in the gardens and fields and help with the care of animals and new construction. Youth volunteers Young people are encouraged to get involved in all aspects of Historic Latta Plantation volunteer work. Some great ideas for Scout or 4-H projects can be implemented at Latta.
