Volunteer docents play a vital role at the John Wornall House Museum, by being the first point of contact for most visitors. As a docent, you would be responsible for leading public tours of the Museum and taking visitors' payments. You will be provided with a "script," but we encourage our docents to personalize their tours based on their personal areas of interest or passion.
The ideal candidate for this position is someone interested in a long-term, regular volunteer opportunity. Join our community of volunteers and learn more about the importance of local history to our city and region!
