What is a docent?Docents are volunteer educators who interpret and communicate our educational message to the public during museum tours. There are no prerequisites to be a JAMsj docent. All we want are dependable and enthusiastic people who are willing to learn.
Why become a docent?
In addition to the satisfaction of providing a valuable community service, you'll receive continuing education with expert instruction, a broad assortment of instructional materials, access to our research library, and special invitations to docent events.
New and experienced
docents are invited
to attend a workshop
to develop and/or
polish their skills
on Tuesday, October
19, at 6:00 pm -
9:00 pm at the
all-new JAMsj
facility.
You do not need
previous experience
to be a JAMsj docent
and the time
commitment can be as
little as several
hours per month. As
a trainee, you will
be gradually brought
along by our
experienced docents
and professional
educators. As a
JAMsj docent, you
will learn many
life-long
communication skills
and you will have
the opportunity to
form many new
friendships.
Please contact Aggie
Idemoto at (408)
268-4440 or
aggie@jamsj.org if
you have questions
or to register for the
workshop. |
