Make a Powerful Difference to Others (and to Yourself!) by Volunteering!

ANNUAL DOCENT TRAINING CLASSES BEGIN MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2020
Registrations Are Currently Underway...Docents are a vital part of our success. Our training program is conducted once a week, for nine weeks, from 10:00-12:00 on Mondays. Topics include the role of the docent, the learning domains, techniques of interpretation, questioning strategies, tour aids, developing a style, and of course an introduction to the museum exhibits and history. There will be lectures, self-study tasks, reading assignments, weekly tests, and tour evaluations. You will be assigned a docent mentor to help you throughout the program. You will shadow a tour, do co-tours, and give a solo tour. We want you to be fully prepared, confident, and comfortable by the end of training. If you have any specific questions, please let us know. We are looking forward to hearing from you with the hope you will consider Joining-Us!!!

If you have a love of history, enjoy interacting with people, making an impact on children's lives, and would like to associate with people of like minds...WE NEED YOU and we would welcome your consideration of joining our corps of Docent Volunteers!

THE NEXT DOCENT TRAINING CLASS WILL TAKE PLACE ON MONDAY, JANUARY 28th @10am; 9 consecutive weeks, 1 1/2 - 2 hours per session.

The difference that you will make in someone else's life will make an even bigger difference in YOURS!

Our volunteers at the HSPBC are truly the best. Their diverse backgrounds in education, profession, experiences, skill, and residency make for quite an extraordinary team. Without their involvement, the HSPBC staff could not effectively further its mission. I'm sure you'll enjoy their camaraderie!
