We have opportunities for outgoing and friendly tour docents, projects for people who prefer to work quietly behind the scenes and activities for those who like working with others. Event volunteers work during special events such as home tours, the Celebration on the Colorado Street Bridge and Craftsman Weekend.

Whether you see it as a way to enrich your membership, to get to know people involved with preservation, or to pursue a personal interest, we hope that volunteering with Pasadena Heritage will be a great experience. Volunteer assignments are tailored to best suit your availability, interest and talents. Volunteering with Pasadena Heritage is a great way to support preservation in our community.
