Why should I volunteer with a non-profit museum?
Estrella Warbirds Museum was an idea that originated in the minds of two gentlemen with two airplanes. Their vision was to start an aviation museum that would serve the community of Paso Robles. That was 30 years ago and my, how their vision has taken off! We beleive that our mission is ever crucial in this ever changing world.
We are dedicated to the restoration and preservation of military aircraft, military vehicles, and memorabilia of those who flew and worked on military aircraft. Our approach, however, is not to glorify conflict but rather to make a future generation aware of the fact our way of life does not come without sacrifice.
Without the sacrifices of veterans over the years, we would not be here.
If you have any free time and would like to give back a little to your community, we would love to get to know you better and talk with you about options available. We have continued to grow because of the high caliber of people that volunteer with Estrella Warbirds Museum and the Woodland Auto Display.
We believe that one person can make a huge difference! You can be that "one person!" We also believe in recognition! We know that working together can make a huge difference, not just in the lives of those who work here, but also in the lives of many of the visitors to travel from all parts of the world to see what is happening in Paso Robles, California.
Besides, this is a great place to make new life-long friends, working together on a common cause!
