Volunteer with TFA

Are you passionate about architecture, design, history, and sharing the stories that shape Tulsa? Volunteering with Tulsa Foundation for Architecture (TFA) is a rewarding way to engage with the community, learn about our city’s rich architectural heritage, and support TFA’s mission.

How to Get Involved: Tours and Programs

The path to volunteering with TFA tours and programs starts with our five-week Docent Training Program, offered three times annually in spring, summer, and fall. This comprehensive program equips volunteers with the skills and knowledge to represent TFA at events and lead tours. 

Docent Training Overview

• Training Sessions: Participants attend four training sessionswhere they will explore TFA’s history, learn storytelling techniques, and gain insights into Tulsa’s architectural landmarks.
• Final Presentation: During the last session, trainees deliver a presentation to demonstrate their preparedness as TFA docents.
• Ongoing Support: After docent training concludes, TFA docents receive ongoing support through study groups, practice tours, etc.

Writing and Research Opportunities

If your passion lies in uncovering and documenting Tulsa’s architectural history, you may choose to opt out of the final presentation and join TFA’s Writing and Research Team. This team contributes essential materials and narratives that support our tours and events.

As a volunteer, you’ll work closely with TFA’s vast collection of drawings, photographs, blueprints, and other historical documents that chronicle the city’s iconic buildings and spaces. Tasks may include organizing and cataloging materials, digitizing archival items, conducting research, and assisting with special projects that preserve and share this invaluable resource. This role is perfect for those who have an eye for detail, a passion for history, and an interest in architecture. By contributing your time and skills, you’ll play a vital part in protecting and celebrating Tulsa’s architectural legacy for future generations.
