Our volunteers have a variety of different backgrounds, experiences, and skills and help bolster The ArQuives strength
From 1973 to 2004, The ArQuives was an entirely volunteer-run community organization. Since 2004, The ArQuives has grown the staff team to four and the number of volunteers and volunteer hours has increased. In 2019, we had 120 volunteers working on a variety of committees. Even with staff, we are still a volunteer-focussed organization.
The ArQuives is broken down into Committees:
- Communications Committee
- Community Engagement Committee
- Facilities Committee
- Fundraising Committee
- Gala Committee
- Operations Committee
