2024 Newburgh Volunteer Fair is calling you!!!

Circle the date May 11th on your calendar. That’s when the Newburgh Volunteer Fair will be taking place at Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site, 11am until 2pm. Find out how you can be a volunteer in a local community organization. You’ll discover the different ways you can help support the local Newburgh community and its residents.
The day focuses on raising awareness about the important work being done by non-profit organizations in the Newburgh community. Explore how you can connect with people to help. Their work would not be possible without the support of dedicated volunteers. In return, involvement in one of these organizations offers a chance to build useful skills, meet new people, and become more active in your community. All are invited to attend the Newburgh Volunteer Fair, visit the tables, ask questions firsthand and see if any of these organizations are a fit for you.
Free admission will be offered to the Museum and to Washington’s Headquarters’ Hasbrouck House on May 11th, courtesy of the Friends of the State Historic Sites of the Hudson Highlands. When taking a tour you will learn about the important role Newburgh played during the War of Independence.
There will also be a number for wonderful other happenings in Newburgh on May 11th at part of “Spring Into Downtown Newburgh”. We encourage you to patronize nearby shops and restaurants, visit the Newburgh Farmers’ Market, and more.
