We’ve got great things planned for Open House Chicago 2021. In 2020 we learned a whole new way of doing what we love – showcasing Chicago’s built environment – from a mobile device app. The OHC app makes for a more intimate, personalized experience for our attendees, getting to know the ins and outs of neighborhoods with themed trails, virtual programming, and self-guided tours.
2021 will be the best of both worlds; the OHC app, open October 1-31, will be coupled with the classic in-person, indoor, immersive experience the weekend of October 16-17.
With in-person site visits, we are recruiting Volunteer Greeters and Leadership Volunteers. Volunteer Greeters welcome guests to sites. They typically work one 4- hour shift on either October 16-17. Leadership Volunteers work one full day of OHC, either October 16 or 17. They ensure that OHC is running smoothly either at a busy downtown site or at a cluster of sites in a neighborhood.
As a CAC docent, education guide, guest services volunteer or exhibit hosts your priority is to sign up for tours and shifts during OHC weekend. But if you have extra time during OHC weekend, your help will be greatly appreciated.

We are committed to following public health guidelines to ensure the safety of our sites, volunteers, and attendees and will continue to monitor the situation and advise sites on implementing safety measures as necessary.
