Volunteering with the DNA Doe Project

Our volunteers make the DNA Doe Project’s innovative approach to investigative genetic genealogy possible. It’s impactful and meaningful mission-driven work with outcomes that truly make a difference to families and communities. In five short years, we have grown to an organization with more than 100 volunteers who contribute to our success in a variety of roles. And, we’re always looking for new talent. As an organization that relies on volunteers, we understand the challenges involved with diversity and inclusion inherent to our model. We are actively seeking to recruit and retain volunteers who bring a variety of diversities to our organization.

Currently, we are fully staffed with generalist investigative genetic genealogists. If you have specialized skills in the following areas, we encourage you to apply:

• Hispanic genealogy and Spanish-language records
