Our Summer Program isn't just for youth this year...
All ages are welcome to come see how you can make a difference!
Wednesdays and Thursdays from June 14 to August 10, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Our youth consultants have been doing basic training to be able to assist others whom might come into the center this summer, be it youth or adults. The learning will continue throughout the summer and everyone is invited to come and learn with them. Lessons will be held on each Wednesday and Thursday at 2:00 p.m. Topics will include: using FamilySearch, memories, timelines, attaching record hints and sources, using Goldie May; also learning new websites like Puzzilla, Tree Sweeper, BYU Technology Lab, Record Linking Lab, and more! Something for everyone!
Additionally, at 3:00 p.m. each Wednesday and Thursday, we will be introducing and working on some community projects. We are continuing to expand our options to include multiple databases and interests including: censuses, cemeteries, obituaries, naturalization papers, WWII memorials, photo attachments, and other databases in FamilySearch specific to our Mini-Cassia area. Many of these community projects can be worked on from home following the basic training. Come check out our projects and help us document all those who have lived in our communities.
Check out the calendar for June, July and August to see which lessons and community projects are being highlighted on specific days.
Groups are welcome to make appointments during these afternoons as well- come and be a part of our learning for the day, or schedule at 4:00 for other options.
What will you do to make a difference this summer? In your life and in the lives of others, including those beyond the veil. The blessings of family history work are abundant. Check these out for more details.
