Registration for the October Volunteer Orientation at Pearl S. Buck International is available.
Orientation will be held at Pearl S. Buck International, 520 Dublin Road, Perkasie, 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19. It is the last orientation for 2023.
The Volunteer Orientation session includes learning more about the mission, touring the National Historic Landmark property, and discovering how individuals can share their special talents with a nonprofit organization that has a humanitarian, educational, and cross-cultural legacy of bridging cultures and changing lives in the community and across the globe.
Volunteers at Pearl S. Buck International choose from tasks as varied as serving as a tour docent or facilitator for visitors to the National Historic Landmark Pearl S. Buck House museum, helping with the archival collection, working in the International Gift Shop, processing letters from sponsored children, or assisting with special events such as the annual Holiday Craft Show or Festival of Trees.
Volunteers are also invited to bring their special talents to the organization. This has resulted in many projects such as a public quilt show, book discussion groups, a Pearl Buck play, a photographic book of the Pearl S. Buck House, speaking opportunities, and more. At this time, Pearl S. Buck International is most in need of tour facilitators and docents as well as volunteers to assist with curatorial work.
