Research Rendezvous Volunteer Mentors

Description:

National History Day is an annual competitive academic program that engages over half a million middle and high-school students around the world. Volunteers help middle- and high-school students in researching their National History Day topics. Volunteers work one-on-one with students in 30-minute online or in-person sessions to help them with research topics, identify sources, and execute other parts of their project.

Qualified volunteers must have skills in conducting historical research and be an active or retired librarian, professional researcher, teacher, faculty member, historian, archivist, museum curator, history undergrad or graduate students, or PhD candidates of history.
