Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are one of our most important assets. Without them, HCHS could not offer all the programs that are so important to our community and our mission. Volunteers can spend as much time as they like helping the organization in a wide variety of ways.
These ambassadors greet guests, collect admission, answer questions, and introduce and share the fascinating history of Howard County and Kokomo. If you enjoy meeting interesting people, would like to assist visitors and share our history, this is for you! Can't memorize a script? No need! Our hosts welcome guests, give a short explanation/history, then send visitors on their way to explore the mansion on their own. Volunteer shifts can be any day Tuesday-Sunday from 1-4 p.m.
Help us organize and present events like Christmas at the Seiberling, the Hall of Legends, Mr. Kingston's Auto Exhibition, and the Annual Meeting just to name a few. We can always use help with event planning, fundraising, and execution. Can't commit to a large event? We also utilize volunteers during outreach events such as the Strawberry Festival or Juneteenth Celebration.
You don't have to be on our Board of Directors to join a committee! We welcome anyone from the community to be involved. Committees include:
Board Development
Building and Grounds
Collections Management
Exhibits
Finance
Publications
Cemetery Walk
Christmas at the Seiberling
Hall of Legends
Mr. Kingston's Auto Exhibition
Interested in helping out with larger groups that visit the Mansion? We're always looking for volunteers to help tour groups navigate the Mansion while sharing our local history!
