Museum Docents
The Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center is looking for Museum Docents to work in various public areas throughout the museum.

- Docent Tour Guide Assistant* - Assists the Docent Tour Guide or Education Tour Guide with large groups by helping to keep the tour together and maintain a civilized air.
- Docent Tour Guide Language Interpreter** - Translate the words of the Docent Tour Guide or Education Tour Guide when a group does not understand English well, or when the group would benefit from translation into their own language.
* Docent Tour Guides must have a minimum of 30 hours experience as a Gallery Monitor and have shadowed at least 2 tours with an experienced Docent or staff member.
