If you enjoy working with groups of children and are interested in Fort Collins history, this volunteer opportunity is perfect for you. The Avery House would like to increase the opportunities for school children, usually second graders, to tour the house as they are studying the early years in our city.

We are seeking to recruit school tour guides and develop a list of volunteers we can contact when schools express an interest in a tour,  typically scheduled for two hours on a weekday.

Tour guides will be provided with written materials as well as an orientation to the house, and an Avery House docent will always be present and involved in the tour. We will send out an email request for volunteers when a tour is booked, and if you are available you can confirm. For more information, please contact Coreen Boeding at cboeding@comcast.net or the Poudre Landmarks Foundation. 221-0533 or poudrelandmarks@gmail.com.
