Home Tours are two days a month for four consecutive months. We ask that volunteers cover an entire shift for at least one day. If you’d like to volunteer multiple days, we would love your support.

We will also be having a volunteer gathering prior to the December Home Tours. It’s encouraged but not required to attend. Details to come.

Dates:

December 29-30, 2026 (Tues & Wed)

January 22-23, 2027 (Fri & Sat)

February 12-13, 2027 (Fri & Sat)

March 12-13, 2027 (Fri & Sat)

Docents and Greeters are asked to arrive at their assigned home at 12:30pm. Tours are open from 1-4pm.

House Captains are asked to arrive at 12pm (noon)

Captains, see below for more details.

Docents will receive a script ahead of time with history and information about their assigned home. You’ll be asked to share this information with guests and answer questions as needed

Greeters will be outside at the check-in table. They will check-in guests who purchased online, and sell tickets to day-of guests. Must be responsible to manage cash transactions.

Captain roles are only assigned upon request.

Captains must attend a one-hour training (online or in-person) prior to their assigned date. More details to come.

On your assigned day, responsibilities include but are not limited to arriving early to set up the check-in table and chairs (they will already be at the house when you arrive), assigning volunteers their stations, answering volunteer and home owner questions, filling in where needed included selling tickets or giving tours, and packing up at the end of the tour day.

You can pick your date, house, and role depending on availability. Selection is first-come-first-serve.

Please reach out to us directly if you’re not seeing a slot that works for you, we will try to accommodate as best we can.
