The role of volunteers is pivotal to our organisation and for over a decade we have been running a highly successful Volunteer Programme involving hundreds of professionals drawn from a range of sectors. Through our Volunteer Programme we aim to develop skills and expertise, cultivate high quality manpower to deliver programmes, provide opportunities for interaction with our broad audiences, and encourage a wider interest in London's rich architectural landscape
By joining our Volunteer Programme you can make a difference by providing Open House with essential external resources to enable capacity building into the future, injecting new skills and experience into our organisation, and by helping us make our initiatives and events happen. We have a team of volunteers and interns who help out throughout the year in the office and are core to our work. There are also hundreds of volunteers that assist during the Open House London Annual Event by offering a half day to act as guides or stewards, and volunteers such as architects who provide support for our education programmes.
