MONONA TERRACE SEEKS VOLUNTEERS FOR SCHOOL OUTREACH & TOURS Madison, WI - Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center is currently accepting applications through May 31st, 2017 for volunteer student tour guides and student workshop facilitators. Volunteers will help facilitate these existing programs for K-12 students. Tours and workshops are interactive and encourage exploration of architecture and design. Student tours take place throughout the year at Monona Terrace, but are in highest demand in the late spring each year. Each tour lasts about one hour. Froebel block workshops take place in Dane County elementary schools. Volunteers work with student groups to teach about architecture using the same wooden blocks that inspired Frank Lloyd Wright as a child. Forty-five minute workshops take place throughout the year. Disc-overy Building Workshops take place at Monona Terrace. Volunteers will facilitate student teams through cooperative learning using cardboard discs to build large scale structures. The structure of nature and/or built elements will be emphasized based on the needs of the visiting students. Workshops run about 45 minutes. No knowledge about architecture is necessary and training is provided. Excellent candidates are individuals who enjoy working with students, exhibit patience and love to learn. For more information about these Monona Terrace volunteer opportunities, contact the Tourism Coordinator, Heather Sabin at 608.261.4015 or hsabin@mononaterrace.com.

Description
Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center opened its doors after nearly 60 years of debate on July 18, 1997. It was first designed by Wisconsin native and internationally-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1938 as a cultural, governmental and recreational building. Wright reworked the design several times between 1938 and 1958 before signing off on the final plans seven weeks before his death in 1959.
Madison voters approved referenda to construct Monona Terrace - on the same site Wright had originally proposed - as a community and convention center in 1992. While Wright´s design was used for the building´s exterior, the interior was redesigned by Wright apprentice and Taliesin architect Tony Puttnam to house state-of-the-art exhibition, meeting and public space.
Today, nearly 390,000 people say "see you at Monona Terrace" each year. From formal events like conventions and conferences to public events like Dane Dances, Monona Terrace has a wide geographic draw, attracting local, regional, state and international events each year.
