Volunteer
Last Updated: October 2024
GGS is a 100% volunteer organization. We are grateful to have many volunteers that keep GGS running. From the president down to the one-time event helper, this organization would not exist if it weren’t for our volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to get involved and interact with other GGS members.
Suggestions
- Join one of our committees - all are welcome!
- Help at a conference, workshop, or meeting
- Answer research requests
- Write an article for our Germanic Genealogy Journal
