Junior Docents

What Is the Junior Docent Program?

Junior Docents are trained museum volunteers between the ages of 10 and 15, who help visitors to the museum better understand and appreciate the museum collections and history. Junior Docents interact with guests in a hands-on setting, assist with educational programming, and help community events run smoothly.

Throughout the academic year, Junior Docents will have the opportunity to attend social events with other program participants, take off-site field trips to other local historic sites with Education department staff, and gain experience in the field of public history!

How Do I Join the Junior Docent Program?

Once selected to join the Junior Docent program, you will be asked to be on site at least once per month and remain in the program for the entirety of the academic year.

This year, 25 students will be selected for the 2023-2024 Junior Docent Program. Applications will open on April 15, 2023 and close on May 29, 2023. Selection is based upon application and interview.
