To manage our events and volunteers, we use a software called Better Impact. To become an OHD volunteer, you will need to create an account and complete a registration form.

If you have never volunteered for Open House Dublin before, please sign up here (or here for a mobile-friendly version)

If you are a returning Open House Dublin volunteer, please sign up here (or here for a mobile-friendly version)

As a festival volunteer, you will have:

• Priority entry to Open House Dublin sites*
• Accessibility and awareness training delivered in collaboration with the National Gallery of Ireland
• Specialised tour guide training if you are chosen to lead tours
• References
• CPD points for architects
• The opportunity to develop teamwork, communication, and leadership skills
• A chance to meet like-minded people and network while exploring Dublin
• A dedicated volunteer party on Sunday 18 October

*We ask that contributors, where possible, give festival volunteers priority entry to buildings and tours; in some cases, where space is very limited or health and safety is a concern, this is not always possible. The decision is always at the discretion of the tour leader or building manager.

• Friday 25 September: volunteer shifts available for selection on Better Impact
• Friday 2 October: volunteer training will take place at the National Gallery of Ireland
• The week beginning Monday 5 October: volunteer packs will be available for collection.
• Saturday 10 October: Open House Junior begins
• Friday 16 October: the main Open House Dublin weekend begins
• Sunday 18 October: end of festival volunteer party

We want volunteering at Open House Dublin to be accessible to as many people as possible. If you have any accessibility needs or requirements, please contact volunteers@iaf.ie to discuss how we can make volunteering work for you.
