Annual Homes Tour

We rely on up to 150 volunteers to serve as house captains, docents, and ticket-takers during our annual Homes Tour. We also rely on our Homes Tour Task Force who plan and implement this educational event and fundraiser. This includes fundraising, volunteer coordination, community outreach, and logistics assistance.

This event celebrates different neighborhoods and architectural eras, and is one of our most powerful educational programs and fundraisers. Sign up via our email list to receive volunteer notices each spring.

Committees

Our committees assist staff in implementing projects and programming. These opportunities are a great fit for those interested in long-term volunteer commitments:

  • Advocacy Committee: Engages in proactive policy development and coalition building.

  • Community Engagement Committee: Connects culturally, racially, and generationally diverse constituents with our work.

  • Development Committee: Sustains the organization’s financial resources through fundraising and donor engagement.

  • Grants Committee: Ensures the success of our quarterly matching grant program, including reviewing grant applications and promotion to our community.
