ORGANIZATION: Long Island Maritime Museum

  • 1 person is interested

This person would assist our Member & Visitor Services Coordinator in facilitating our large tour groups.

This person helps with:

  • Greeting tour groups that come to the museum
  • Splitting the large group into smaller ones for each tour station
  • Timing stations and communicating the time to docents when necessary
  • Leading tour groups from station to station

This position requires the ability to walk short distances on gravel, grassy and sometimes muddy terrain.

This position does not require public speaking or knowledge of history (though it certainly is a plus!).

Giving our visitors the best experience we can is the first step in giving the Museum more opportunities to educate and engage the public. This is a great opportunity to give back to the community and ensure the future of the Museum.
