    Volunteer
    “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” 
    — Winston Churchill

    Volunteering at the Michigan Folk School is a very rewarding way to give back to your community!

    As an MFS Volunteer you will have the opportunity to meet new people, learn a new skill, and strengthen your community as you encourage civic responsibility.

    The 
    Michigan Folk School is a year-round school that relies heavily on volunteers to make it a success. General volunteers may be asked to help insure that our outdoor classes remain pristine and litter free. Answering phones and greeting guests is high on the priority list. We can also use many hands in building, grounds and carpentry projects. If you have a special skill such as painting, carpentry, rebuilding machinery, computer administration or something else not listed here, let us know! We would greatly appreciate your help.

Our Mission: The Michigan Folk School is committed to creating a community engaged in authentic, hands-on experiences through the teaching and sharing of traditional folk arts, crafts, music, and skills in an inspiring natural setting and to promote the preservation of forest and farmland.
