Chicago Greeter is seeking friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers to join the program in 2012.
This award-winning visitor service managed by the Chicago Office of Tourism and Culture pairs local Chicagoans with visitors looking for an insider introduction to the city.
Through Chicago Greeter, volunteers share what they know and love about the city and visitors take away a truly authentic Chicago experience by discovering lesser known neighborhood gems. Potential greeters interested in volunteering can apply at www.chicagogreeter.com/apply.
Nearly 200 Chicagoans regularly volunteer their time through the Chicago Greeter program, reaching visitors from all 50 states and more than 90 different countries. Greeters highlight various neighborhoods and interests for visitors on two- to four-hour excursions. They show off their knowledge of local history, ethnic heritage, architectural highlights, culinary hotspots, public art, LGBT Chicago, family-friendly destinations and more.
