Why volunteer with Legasee?
At Legasee, veterans are at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to preserve their stories, ensuring their experiences and sacrifices are never forgotten.
Volunteers are essential in helping us honour these remarkable individuals. From transcribing interviews to creating educational resources, our volunteers enable us to bring our library to life and share veterans’ voices with the world.
By joining us as a volunteer, you’ll not only contribute to this important work, but also gain the opportunity to develop new skills, connect with others who share your passion for history, and be part of a project that truly makes a difference.
It’s been eye-opening, educational and humbling to speak with the remarkable women of the WRAC.
– LUCY, VOLUNTEER RESEARCHER
Current volunteer opportunities
Join our team and help us preserve and share veterans’ stories. We’re looking for multiple volunteers in the following areas:
Transcription: Help make veteran interviews more accessible by creating written transcripts. Some gaps remain in our library—could you help us fill them?
Content writing: Update veteran profile pages on our website and write articles about our work. Perfect for those looking to gain journalistic or digital content writing experience.
Educational resource development: If you’re a teacher passionate about using primary sources to bring history to life, this role is for you.
Podcast production: Whether you have storytelling skills, audio production experience, or both, we’d love your help to create compelling episodes.
Social media campaigns: Develop and deliver impactful campaigns to raise awareness of the archive and increase support for the charity.
Bid writing: Contribute to securing vital funding for our work and gain experience writing successful funding applications for grants.
Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.
