Open City relies on its volunteers to help make London and its architecture more open, accessible and equitable.
There are a variety of volunteering opportunities available, depending on your interests and availability.
Volunteering at Open City
Festival Volunteers
You can find the full Festival Volunteers role description here.
Volunteer at Open House Festival
Open House is a celebration of London's architecture and neighbourhoods, and the people and communities behind them. The festival would not be possible without volunteers, so we need you to make it happen.
Core Volunteers
Open City Core Volunteers are vital to the running of the charity, particularly Open House Festival. Core Volunteers support and collaborate with the staff team at all stages of the festival’s development and delivery, as well as supporting other Open City projects from time to time.
We are not currently recruiting new Core Volunteers.
Programme Volunteers
We all have our own London: those areas or neighbourhoods that we know better than anywhere else, that mean something to us because they’re where we’ve lived or worked, or because we have some other affinity with or interest in them. We know the buildings and landscapes that are tucked away off the beaten track, that a casual visitor to the area might not find. It’s this local knowledge, this passion for London’s neighbourhoods, that we want to tap into when programming next year’s festival, and we’re recruiting Programme Volunteers to help us do just that.
