From guiding tours to stuffing envelopes, Indiana Landmarks' volunteers support our efforts to save and showcase Indiana's historic places.

Volunteer

No pay, but great benefits! Each year, people throughout the state donate thousands of hours of their time to support Indiana Landmarks’ many rewarding programs. In return, we offer training opportunities and special benefits including volunteer events, dinners, and trips.

You’ll receive the sense of satisfaction that comes with knowing you’re making a real difference. And you’ll look really cool wearing one of our name tags.

Heritage tourism volunteers
In Indianapolis, docents lead school tours throughout the year; serve as step-on guides for groups touring in motorcoaches; and help with other excursions. In addition, volunteers assist with events, conduct training sessions, research and develop tour scripts, serve on special committees and complete mailings. New volunteers are accepted each January. For a volunteer application or more information contact our tourism department, 800-450-4534, 317-639-4534 or tourism@indianalandmarks.org.
