Landmarks Foundation Seeks Docents
Do you love Pittsburgh, its architecture, and its gloriously complex history? Do you believe that saving and restoring buildings can help neighborhoods thrive economically as well as foster pride in one’s community? Do you have a talent for enthusiastically engaging others and navigating the subtleties of new ideas?
If so, perhaps you should consider becoming a docent for the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation. The principal function of their education department is to help build pride in the city and region by creating exciting, in-depth, and insightful tour and advocacy experiences about our distinctive built environment.
Docents are essential to this work, leading tours primarily in the City of Pittsburgh, both in Downtown and city neighborhoods and surrounding communities. Prior experience as a leader of architecture tours is not necessary, but docent candidates must be willing to commit to in-depth training.
