The Tiffany Windows Education Center at Arlington Street Church is looking for volunteers to assist us this summer season as we open our doors to tourists and visitors. Arlington Street Church houses one of the most unique and incredible collections of Tiffany stained glass windows and will be open May-October for tours and events. We are recruiting friendly individuals to help us meet our growing visitor base and help support the expansion of our tour programs.
Volunteer Tour Guides will conduct historical tours of our building and collection of Tiffany windows. Tours usually last around twenty minutes but can be longer if the tour guide desires. No experience necessary, but comfort with public speaking a must. Historical information, script, and training will be provided.
We have three specific shifts we are looking fill:
Thursdays: 10am-12:30pm
Fridays: 10am-12:30pm
Sundays: 1-4pm (every other Sunday)
With a direct view of the Boston Public Garden, the option to read or work on your own projects in your downtime, and flexible scheduling, this is a great volunteer opportunity for those looking to gain experience in the fields of art and public history, or those looking to spend their time among beautiful art and architecture.
To apply, email Alissa Butler at asctiffany@gmail.com
*Potential for internships and larger opportunities for college/graduate students if interested

Mission Statement
The Arlington Street Tiffany Education Center works to share with in-person and online visitors the Tiffany windows at Arlington Street Church. It is a program of The Foundation for the Preservation of 20 Arlington Street, a non-sectarian charity created in 2016 to restore the Church’s landmark building and share its historic and artistic legacy with the public.
Description
We are proud to share the resplendent beauty and history of our Tiffany stained glass windows with visitors, tourists, and locals in the Greater Boston Area. Our church’s unique heritage has played a essential part in the history of our nation, as does this building, with our unique series of Tiffany windows also tell the story of those who worshiped here and their world -- Boston’s "Golden Age" at the turn of the 20th century. Our Tiffany Education Center offers self- guided tours with an audio guide as well as docent-guided tours during the summer season of May-October.
