View of a Student Volunteer

I have been a volunteer
at the Delta Heritage Center for quite some time now. The Delta Heritage Center
is not your typical "museum" if you would like to call it that. It is
a wonderful place to stop by if you live in town or if you’re from out of town
and just stopping by for a quick second, the place is filled with nice and
helpful people.
As a student I have
learned so much about the Heritage Center and I absolutely love to volunteer
here. I encourage more young people to volunteer, not just for community
service but to spend a little time at the Heritage Center to get familiar with our
history.
One thing I know for
sure is that the wonderful people here sure wouldn't mind having you volunteer.
That should make the transition a little better to make for you as young person
and as a student. I know it helped me. Of course you could go volunteer at
bigger places but that wouldn't mean anything if the people didn't treat you
well.
To me it’s all about
the people; how they treat each other and those who visit. Believe me when I
tell you it will be hard to find anyone nicer than the women at the Delta
Heritage Center.
Living or visiting the
small town of Brownsville you might think that it doesn't have any historical
value. That’s where you would be wrong. The
Delta Heritage Center has a lot of information that you would be surprised to
learn. So many things have happened in our town.
The Delta Heritage
Center is unique and a good place to visit and volunteer. The Center goes to
show you size doesn't mean everything and smaller museums can be full of
interesting things. You can’t judge a book by its cover and the Delta Heritage
Center is something you have to visit and experience for yourself.
