We are looking for someone who can concentrate on driving our education outreach to schools. This would involve developing new content and taking our existing content and materials to the classroom along with bringing school groups to the museum. Time commitment depends on the volunteer availability.

Docent
Conduct tours of the museum and tell the family saga in an informative and entertaining manner. Training is provided and the volunteer should be able to take one three hour shift per week to remain proficient. This is one of the more fun jobs as you get to meet people from all over the world. The only requirement is to have a pleasant personality.
