 The First Virginia Regiment of the Continental Line is incorporated as a non-profit educational organization. One of the important activities of our group is to provide volunteers to speak to students at schools and other venues about the life of a soldier during the American Revolution. We also have volunteers from our Distaff (women) who speak about colonial family life, and how it was affected by the Revolutionary War.
While most of our members are employed full time, several of them make time to speak at area schools during normal school hours. We endeavor to honor all requests for school appearances although availability depends on the schedules of the members who make these appearances. To request a visit please e-mail the group at: info@1va.org
While not required, we ask that a donation be made to our group for these school appearances. These payments are frequently made from school PTA groups and the amount is usually between $100 - $200 -- but any amount is greatly appreciated. These funds go directly to pay the operating expenses of our organization, and no members receive payment for these appearances.
