Friends of Bohemian National Cemetery is looking for volunteers to help with a variety of events and tasks throughout the year. Just a few hours of your time can help ensure that the cemetery can continue to provide a quality experience for all visitors.
You can help us with events including:
- Spring and fall walking tours
- Memorial Day
- 4th of July
- Veterans Day
- Special tours for dignitaries from the Czech Republic and Slovakia
- Friends of Bohemian National Cemetery member events
- Events to mark the 150th anniversary of the cemetery in 2027
Light tasks include:
- Placing small American flags along the roadways prior to holidays and removing them afterwards
- Placing parking and informational signage at our events
- Greeting and registering participants and handing out programs at events
- Providing food and beverages, setting up serving tables and cleaning up afterwards
For those who enjoy working outside, we have a variety of projects throughout the year. Outdoor tasks include:
- Forestry work, including cutting down trees, clearing fallen limbs, picking up branches, pruning bushes and removing invasive plants
- Watering flowers
- General cleanup of the grounds, especially around our more popular monuments like the Cubs Wall, military memorials, Cermak mausoleum, the “Mother” statue, as well as our historic buildings like the Gatehouse, the Main Office, the Crematorium/Columbarium and the Masaryk Mausoleum
And if you are handy, we need people with electrical, plumbing, painting and mechanical skills throughout the year.
So if you can, please join us for some rewarding volunteer work at Bohemian National Cemetery. To volunteer, please contact us at [email protected].
