The LRS program assistant provides interpretive and educational assistance for the museum on the Saturdays that LRS is open. They are responsible for engaging with families and children during educational programs in relation to High Point’s general history, current exhibits in the Museum, historic arts and crafts, and activities in the Historical Park. The program assistant serves as an educational guide between the Museum and the visitor, and therefore, is an essential member of the Education Department.
