Volunteer Opportunities The Henry Clay Estate is fortunate to have a talented professional staff. However, it is through the efforts of dedicated volunteers, working together with the staff that Ashland has been able to flourish. There are many ways to volunteer your time at Ashland including giving tours of the house and the property, assisting with special projects and events, or lending your unique talents to the estate.All of the tours of the estate are given by volunteer docents who participate in an extensive orientation and training session prior to giving tours. There are also monthly programs on different topics related to history, art, and culture presented for the docents. The docents also staff the Museum Store. And, throughout the year, there are a number of special events and projects that require extra help, whether its stuffing envelopes, proofing copy, doing research, entering data, serving refreshments or greeting visitors.
