get involved

NCMA docents facilitate conversations and object-based strategies to make tours engaging, fun, and educational for learners with varied needs and perspectives. Docents commit to one year of initial training with Museum staff and to two years of giving interactive, interdisciplinary tours. During this time they become part of a vibrant learning community devoted to studying new ways to engage visitors with the Museum’s growing collection and exhibitions.

Applications for the docent program are closed at this time. If you would like more information about being a docent or supporting the tour program in other ways, please contact Beth Shaw McGuire, coordinator of tours and docent education.
