Who We Are
Volunteers
Tour of Homes Volunteers:
Historic preservation is more than saving buildings — it’s about revitalizing neighborhoods, curbing urban sprawl, and building vibrant communities. Through advocacy, education, and community events, the QQA brings new life to the places that tell our shared story.
Our biggest volunteer need is for the Spring Tour of Homes, which brings together more than 200 volunteers each year. If you are interested in volunteering as a House Docent, please sign up below. We have a variety of homes still available.
Tour volunteers receive a free tour ticket for the weekend!
