Are you looking to hire guides, docents, or volunteers for tours, museums, or historic sites? Or are you a history and culture enthusiast seeking a position? The Association of Philadelphia Tour Guides (APT) is organizing its first ever job fair on Saturday, February 24, tentatively scheduled for the afternoon. Save the date! The event will be held in conjunction with the APT yearly training program.

With the hole left by guides and docents who did not return to their positions post-Covid and the influx of tourists expected in the next few years with the semiquincentennial and other important anniversaries, there is a great need for tour guides and other historic interpreters in Philadelphia. Whether you are an employer or employee, the APT job fair aims to give you the best chance for success.

Attendance at the job fair and participation as a vendor are free for APT individual and corporate members. If you are not currently a member and would like to join, more information is here. You can also contact Marianne at for further details on the benefits of membership and an explanation of our new tiered corporate membership.

More information coming soon! Venue and exact times still to be determined. Check back regularly for updates or email Marianne with a request to be put on the event mailing list.
