Docent
Programs |
Docents
are an essential part of the educational services that the Museum of
Northern Arizona extends to its members and the general public. Museum
docents are volunteer educators who assist the Museum in interpreting
the natural and cultural history of the Colorado Plateau and in
helping the public to understand fine arts, anthropology, special
exhibitions, and the historical legacy of the Museum of Northern
Arizona. Every year, docents enrich the education of more than 6,000
people of all ages. Docents serve in a
variety of capacities, such as:
- Providing general and specific tours of permanent
exhibitions
- Interpreting special exhibitions
- Acting as guides to the Museum's nature trail and
amphibian pond
- Orienting visitors and providing general
information
- Providing special programs, such as hands-on-
activities for children and demonstrations at the
Museum's Open House, Archaeology Day, Holiday
Party or other special events
- Serving as gallery guide for drop-in visitors
- Instructing or presenting programs to special
interest
groups at the Museum and in public schools
- Participating in science, education, and fairs.
To enter the docent training program, a two year commitment and an
interest in working with children are required. After graduation, we
encourage docents to continue being active by committing up to 60
hours of service each year. For more information, please
contact our Volunteer Coordinator, at 928-774-5211, ext. 206.
