<p class="MsoNormal">The Ohio History Service Corps is an AmeriCorps program whose members provide capacity-building services to local history organizations. Serving with the Ohio History Service Corps can be a chance to grow as a public historian by putting
into practice the skills learned in school. It’s also a great introduction to the local history community in Ohio and an excellent way to create a network for future opportunities.

We will have 10 member slots around the state of Ohio. We’re recruiting folks with a passion for history, public history, museum studies, anthropology, other humanities, library sciences, historic preservation/architectural history, education, or related fields.
A B.A. or similar level of experience is preferred. We’re open to folks who are currently pursuing a degree (whether B.A. or M.A. or Ph.D.)., but they should be aware that the time commitment for this position is 35-40 hours/week.
<o:p></o:p></p>
