Last year more than 340 people provided thousands of hours of service so that Cultural Tourism DC could produce its programs and touch hundreds of thousands of others. As we shake off winter and look forward to 2020's line-up of programs, CTDC is seeking volunteers to support PorchFest along Rhode Island Avenue NE on Saturday, April 11, Passport DC's Around the World Embassy Tour on Saturday, May 2, and the CTDC office in keeping our online calendar up to date. We provide orientations and training for all of our volunteers so that they feel comfortable in the valuable roles that they play.
