Become a Volunteer

Join the Canterbury Shaker Village Family

The work of the Village requires many helping hands. We are fortunate to have volunteers who provide this invaluable assistance. Please consider contributing your time and talent. 

Gardens | Led by NH Master Gardeners, volunteers meet on Wednesdays from 9:00am – noon to care for the Villages gardens. For more information or to get involved, contact Cassidy Priester at cpriester@shakers.org. 

Grounds | Led by NH Land Stewards, volunteers meet on Fridays from 9:00am – noon to care for the Village’s grounds, trails, and historic orchards. For more information or to get involved, contact Garrett Bethmann at gbethmann@shakers.org. 

Craft Demonstrations | If you have a special skill, or the desire to learn something new, consider becoming a Village demonstrator. Our demonstrators volunteer two or more days per month and showcase historic trades from spinning to oval box making throughout our open season from May-October. Training can be provided. For more information or to get involved, contact Kyle Sandler at ksandler@shakers.org.
