Docent (Tour Guide)
Docents serve as guides, subject-matter experts and interpreters at the museum by guiding scheduled (as well as unscheduled) tours through the Museum and restoration area, and by making themselves available for occasional evening functions and special events.
​Minimum Requirements
Prospective docents should possess a background in the military, education, museum sciences, public relations, or aviation. Docents will be required to complete a training program familiarizing them with our exhibits and operations. Strong interpersonal skills with a background in public speaking and/or education and the ability to communicate information clearly and concisely. Personal traits of timeliness, reliability and diplomacy are expected. Prior military service is a plus, but not essential. Prospective volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and stand/walk for periods of up to 4 hours.
Training Provided
Volunteers will be initially trained on the basics of the museum, its components, and program/operations. Additional training may be required based on the role.
Commitment
At least 10 hours per month is necessary to start and stay current.
