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 are looking for 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, or are a student, retiree or anything in between – we’d love you to apply!
