Do you enjoy working with children? Are you looking for experience in education, or are you a retiree looking for an active and stimulating volunteer opportunity? Do you have a few morning hours once or twice a month to give? Join a team of volunteer museum teachers and guide children as they journey through the Hudson River Trading Game! Based on the life of Hudson River sloop owner Philip Van Rensselaer of Albany, the award-winning school program immerses 4th and 5th grade students in 18th century trade and travel on a 34-foot game board.
Teaching experience is not necessary, but the ability to work cooperatively in a fast-paced environment is a must. Training is provided. The program is 3 hours long, offered mornings November through June, at the Albany Visitors Center at Quackenbush Square in downtown Albany. Most volunteers help out 1 to 3 weekday mornings each month.
