Pearl S. Buck National Historic Landmark

Volunteers at Pearl S. Buck International play an important part in sharing the history of Pearl S. Buck and her National Historic Landmark house, organizing community events, and fundraising for the organization.
Volunteers do this by serving in a variety of roles such as docents and facilitators, who lead guided tours of the Pearl S. Buck House; clerks, who staff the International Gift Shop; office assistants, who help the staff of Pearl S. Buck International with clerical and other office needs; and event organizers for the Holiday Craft Show and Community Holiday Open House.
To learn how you can become a volunteer at Pearl S. Buck International, please reserve your spot and attend one of the volunteer orientations. All orientations will be held on a Thursday from 1-3 pm.
