Volunteering & Employment

As one of only twelve Presidential Libraries in the country, we offer some unique and interesting opportunities. We have several programs for you to become involved in that are worthwhile, rewarding, educational, and FUN. You could lead a group of students on a tour, greet visitors for special events, go on stage for one of our productions or visit local schools as a historic character. If you prefer behind the scenes involvement, ask about our archives department or curatorial workshop. Volunteers are scheduled to work weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

As a Volunteer for the Hoover Library and Museum, training for each of the areas is provided. You will have an opportunity to work with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. You will meet other volunteers at meetings, Road Trips, and parties that are held on a regular basis.
