VOLUNTEER
 
Saving Graves is a non-profit volunteer organization made up of cemetery preservation advocates working to increase public awareness and activism in preserving, protecting and restoring endangered and forgotten cemeteries worldwide. Currently we are seeking additional volunteers to assist in the Saving Graves project at the National, State or Province and (where current state coordinators exist) the County or other such regional levels. If you are interested in coordinating a  Saving Graves website, you should first check the current page to see if the particular area is available for adoption.  If you find that it is, you are welcome to apply for the position.

What a Coordinator is
A person or team that is knowledgeable about the area or region for which they are responsible for. Knowledge includes knowing what cemetery preservation resources are available for this particular area or region and where they can be found. Personal experience in this area is a bonus, but not necessarily required.

We are currently searching for volunteers in the following areas:

National Coordinators:
A National Coordinator is responsible for creating and maintaining the country level project website. They recruit and train county/parish/state volunteers and usually manage a country-wide mail list or discussion board for project volunteers. The country website offers general assistance to the researcher. In addition to above, the National coordinator tries to establish working relationships with other cemetery websites (that may contain information concerning the same nation) and often coordinates transcription projects to benefit researchers in that nation. For additional information on these positions, please contact us.

State / Province Coordinators:
A State Coordinator is responsible for creating and maintaining the state or provincial level project website. They recruit and train county volunteers and usually manage a state or provincial-wide mail list or discussion board for project volunteers. The state or provincial website offers general assistance to the researcher. In addition to above, the state or provincial coordinator tries to establish working relationships with other cemetery websites (that may contain information concerning the same state / province) and often coordinates transcription projects to benefit researchers in that state or province.

County / Parrish Coordinators:

As States or Provinces are adopted, Saving Graves will begin to breakdown those locations by the addition of County / Parrish Coordinators. County Coordinators will manage and maintain a county website which will offer general cemetery preservation and other cemetery related information and assistance specific to the county. In addition to above, the County Coordinator tries to establish working relationships with other cemetery websites (that may contain information concerning the same county) and often coordinates transcription projects to benefit researchers in that state or province. Full details on the County / Parrish Coordinator position may be found at the County Coordinators Page

Volunteer positions are available ONLY in currently adopted Counties / Parishes. If you are interested in becoming a Coordinator for a county in a state that has yet to be adopted please contact us for additional information on getting involved.
