The volunteer gallery guide/gallery attendant provides interpretive and educational assistance in the Museum. They are responsible for monitoring galleries and responding to exhibit related questions from museum visitors. Museum visitors are quite diverse and can include students, adults, families, and individuals interested in High Point’s history. The gallery guide serves as the educational link between the Museum and the visitor, and therefore, is an essential member of the Education Department.
