ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for the Center Docents! Become an ambassador of the arts at Segerstrom Center for the Arts and join the Center Docents! The Center Docents are an enthusiastic group of volunteers who share the magic of Segerstrom Center for the Arts with thousands of people each year through in-depth behind-the-scenes tours. This important group of volunteers are dedicated to sharing the story of Segerstrom Center for the Arts with various groups who come to the Center for a tour as part of a field trip, family outing, or as part of their corporate event. What is a Docent? A Docent is a tour guide who leads observation and inquiry-based tours. No formal training or prior experience is required to become a Center Docent - we will train you on what you need to know! Enthusiasm, friendliness, and commitment are the main qualifications needed. Tell me more! Below are details of what is involved in becoming a member of this ambassador group: Training: Complete six training sessions to learn tour route and memorize the tour script for the full campus. Sessions are scheduled on Mondays from 9 am - 12 noon, for 6 consecutive weeks. Next training session is tentatively booked for January 27 - March 3, 2025. Tour Details: Docents must be comfortable giving a one-hour walking tour without notes, ascending and descending several flights of stairs, and engaging tour groups of all ages. While the majority of our tours are conducted in English, bi-lingual candidates encouraged to apply. Tour Commitment: A Center Docent agrees to lead a minimum of 10 tours per year, attend membership meetings to continue their education about the Center, and attend safety training. Tours are typically scheduled in the morning as to not interfere with the production schedule. Meetings: Membership meetings are monthly on the 3rd Tuesday of the month from 9 am - 12 noon, September - April. (December and May meetings/luncheons are optional.) These meetings provide a forum for continued education as well as enriching field trips. Dues: Center Docents contribute $55.00 annual membership dues that support Docent field trips, special meeting programs, off-set the cost of luncheons, and support of education department summer camp programs. How do I apply?

We are seeking volunteers, ages 14+, to assist in our Studio D: Arts School for All Abilities classes. Volunteers work alongside our faculty and students providing hands-on support and care in our Dance & Music, Ballet, Musical Theater, and Theater onsite classes at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. The majority of our students have a disability, cognitive and/or physical, and we group our classes by age range - ages 4-7, 8-12, 13-17, and 18+. Volunteers can apply on our website and from there will be invited for a Zoom interview and if selected will be required to attend a 2-hour orientation at the Center. Volunteers choose which class they'd like to support and are asked to attend consistently from week to week. Our sessions are grouped by season and we are currently seeking volunteers for our 15-week spring classes that will meet from February 3 to May 24, 2025. Aside from consistent availability, we seek volunteers who are curious, open to providing hands-on support, and ready to have fun with our students. This opportunity is perfect for individuals looking for community service hours in performing arts and/or experience working with neurodivergent populations. A performing arts background is not necessary but it is welcomed. Lastly, in every class we have a licensed occupational or physical therapist present so this is a great opportunity for OT/PT folks seeking experience or volunteer hours in the field. Visit our website at SCFTA.org/StudioD to learn more and apply!
