VOLUNTEER
ABOUT VOLUNTEERING
Gold Coast Open House is run on the power of volunteers – from the committee to our tour guides and events staff, our event would not happen without the dedication and support of our incredible volunteer team.
We will soon be looking for new volunteers to join us for this year’s event. Whether you have a keen interest in architecture and design, are simply passionate about the Gold Coast and getting involved in amazing community events, are a student, retiree or anything in between – we’d love you to apply!
Your role as a volunteer
Our volunteers help visitors to Gold Coast Open House have the best possible experience. Our volunteer activities include helping to set venues up, checking people in, managing waiting lines, answering questions, helping to give directions or seat people at an event and much more!
As a volunteer, you are the face of Gold Coast Open House, and a visible point of contact on the day, and your role is critical in ensuring the event runs smoothly and we showcase Gold Coast architecture (and people!) at its absolute best.
