Join the crew
Be part of the story
It takes a lot of volunteers to run the Tour of Homes, and there is a place for you to lend a hand. Volunteers greet guests at the door, share each home's story, and help create an unforgettable experience for everyone visiting North Hill on Tour Day.
We have planned short shifts on purpose, because plenty of helpers makes the work lighter for everyone and no volunteer should have to miss the tour. As our thank you, volunteers receive a refund on their tour ticket after the event for each shift they serve. Members receive the full ticket price back, and volunteers who are not yet members receive half.
