Sign up to be a Doors Open Minneapolis Volunteer Greeter!

Open Doors Minneapolis Returns May 18 and 19, and volunteers are needed!

As a volunteer, you will assist in executing Doors Open Minneapolis in 2024. Doors Open Minneapolis is a weekend-long event that gives the public a chance to explore the buildings that tell our city’s story. From theaters to business hubs, sacred spaces to private clubs, sports complexes to engineering wonders, historical gems to not-even-open-yet buildings, Doors Open Minneapolis will give visitors a free behind-the-scenes look at dozens of exciting venues. Your role as a Greeter Volunteer will make this event function smoothly and easily.

Volunteers are stationed at one of several venues within the city of Minneapolis. The time commitment is a minimum of 4 hours on either Saturday May 18 or Sunday May 19, between the hours of 9:30am and 5:30pm.

Responsibilities: 

• Welcome Doors Open Minneapolis attendees to the venue and count them as they enter. 

• Encourage attendees to register for Doors Open Minneapolis. Attendees will register via a mobile QR code or weblink and will be entered in a raffle to win prizes. Distribute stickers to attendees. Assist with flow of foot traffic. Answer general questions about the event. 

• Attend one mandatory volunteer information session in late April/early May. Multiple sessions (in-person and virtual) will be scheduled for your convenience. 

Details: 

• Doors Open Minneapolis will take place 10am – 5pm on May 18 & 19, 2024. Dozens of venues (businesses & buildings) are anticipated to participate. 

• Two volunteers will be stationed at each venue for the duration of the event's operating hours.  

• Greeter Volunteers will sign up for one or more 4-hour shifts. Shifts are 9:30 am - 1:30 pm and 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm. 

• Rethos is the coordinating entity for Doors Open Minneapolis, but works with the City of Minneapolis, American Institute of Architects, and many more local partners to produce this event. 

Benefits: 

• You will receive a pass that allows you priority access at venues, allowing you to skip venue lines for the duration of the event. 

• You will receive a free Doors Open Minneapolis t-shirt. 

• You get to choose the venue you volunteer at, and you can sign up with a friend. 

• You will be invited to a post-event volunteer appreciation party that includes food and beverage.
