Volunteer to be a Docent

MGMoA docents help visitors make lasting connections with the museum, by acting as tour guides for students and adult groups, art activity leaders and helpers, story tellers, and gallery monitors

The word "docent" is rooted in the Latin word "docere," which means "to teach."

No previous knowledge of art or art history is required, but would-be docents should possess:

• A sincere and genuine interest in people
• A love for and excitement about learning
• A strong desire to help others make a connection with art
• A willingness to inspire others, make good friends, and have memorable experiences.

To be a docent is also to be a committed life-long learner!
