Docents Needed: Help Us Share the Story of the North Star House

The North Star House is looking for volunteer docents to help welcome visitors, lead tours, and share the history of this special place with our community.

Docents play an important role in helping people connect with the house, its story, and the people who made it what it is today. During tours, visitors learn about the architecture, restoration work, and the lives connected to the property, including Julia Morgan, Mary Hallock Foote, Arthur De Wint Foote, and the many people who have helped shape the North Star House over time.

You do not need to be a historian to become a docent. We are looking for people who enjoy learning, talking with others, and helping visitors feel welcome. Training and support are provided, and new docents will have the opportunity to learn alongside experienced volunteers.

Becoming a docent is a meaningful way to support the North Star House while also becoming part of a dedicated volunteer community. Every tour helps keep the house active, visible, and connected to the public. It also helps support our larger mission of restoring and preserving the property for future generations.

If you love local history, architecture, community spaces, or simply enjoy meeting new people, we would love to have you join us.
