We are currently looking for new volunteers to work with our elementary, middle school and high school museum visitors! Our goal is to engage and inspire todays youth, encouraging them to see themselves as the problem-solvers and innovators of tomorrow.
The training program for this role will prepare new and current volunteers to lead tours for school age students, and to assist in facilitating workshops. Throughout the course, we will highlight behavioral patterns by grade level, age-appropriate content, and strategies for engaging students in active learning and discussion.
No prior teaching or museum experience is necessary, and we welcome a diversity of backgrounds and interests!
