DOCENTS AND VOLUNTEERS

The role of our docents is to interpret the Museum's exhibitions through guided tours, interactive education and hands-on activities. Visitors range from school tours to adult groups and families. Our volunteers play an important role in the Museum by participating in various programs and assisting Museum staff.

Requirements

The Museum's docents and volunteers share a love of art, and enjoy sharing their knowledge of art with visitors. The staff will provide training in the content matter at the onset of new exhibitions, as well as interpretive techniques. Membership is greatly encouraged, as it shows support and endorsement of the Coral Springs Museum of Art. A one-year commitment and minimum of 2 hours a month meet our minimum requirements.

Jr. Volunteer Program

The role of our Jr. Volunteers is to assist in many different capacities in the Museum year round. Some of the areas may include assisting in the art classes, mailings, fundraising events, family fundays, openings or special events. Service hours will be awarded to those students who are committed and participate on a regular basis.

Teens Talk to Kids About Art

The Junior Volunteers that participate in this program will learn how to become Junior Docents. There will be training involved to teach the methodology that is associated with conducting tours for children. They will have the opportunity to conduct the tours and assist with an art activity. Service hours will be granted to these students.
