Volunteer at the Center
We need people who know the FamilySearch Family Tree program, and would be able to teach it to others.

''We also need young people who are fast on the computer and could learn the program quickly. Perhaps a pair of young mothers could share a shift, covering the shift on one week and caring for the children on the off week.''
