Share your talents! Volunteers play a critical role in the management and operation of the Harry S Truman National Historic Site. The volunteer program strives to involve volunteers in the preservation and enhancement of the park’s resources in an atmosphere of respect and cooperation. Individuals or groups with a range of experiences and backgrounds are encouraged to participate. Volunteering gives you hands-on experience working with the public, park staff, and park resources.

Our Mission: The mission of Harry S Truman National Historic Site is to interpret the broad life experience of President Truman encompassed in the National Park Service resources in Independence and Grandview and to preserve those resources which tell his life story. The park seeks to educate present and future generations about Truman, his role as a citizen and his influence on history.
