School Tour Guide Volunteers support the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s educational mission and provide engaging learning experiences for K-12 students. Just bring your enthusiasm and curiosity and the School Programs team, comprised of educators, will provide the training and encouragement.
Volunteers help students make connections between country music and their lives. Interactive tours cover diverse topics and integrate the Museum’s collection with sound and video recordings, sparkly costumes, careers in music, and more.
Availability: School Tour Guide volunteer opportunities are on weekday mornings and are typically 1.5 to 3 hours long.
Volunteer Benefits: In addition to free admission to the Museum, discounts in Museum stores and restaurants, and free parking while volunteering, we offer flexible self-scheduling, and the opportunity to volunteer in more than one area of interest (be sure to check out our volunteer opportunities in Guest Relations, Public Programs, and Youth and Family Programs). Volunteer Tour Guides also receive extra benefits and training, including opportunities for continual learning.
About Us: As a volunteer, you’ll directly contribute to the Museum’s educational mission-to teach diverse audiences about the enduring beauty and cultural importance of country music.
Your impact will be felt: Annually, volunteers help the Museum deliver more than 1,200 educational programs to over 130,000 people, including over 30,000 students in school programs. And with more than 1.5 million visitors annually, you’ll be part of a vibrant cultural arts center-we’re one of the most visited history museums in the country-right in the heart of downtown Nashville.

Mission Statement
The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum collects, preserves, and interprets the evolving history and traditions of country music. Through exhibitions, publications, and educational programs, the Museum teaches its diverse audiences about the enduring beauty and cultural importance of country music.
Description
Located in the heart of downtown Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum documents and interprets the history of country music-a musical genre and culture central to the identity of the city, the state, and the nation. Accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the Museum proudly combines subject expertise, ambitious research, and preservation of an unparalleled collection with expressions of creativity in music, art, and history. The Museum collects objects and archival materials that illustrate the evolving history and traditions of country music and provides diverse learning opportunities through educational programs, publications, and exhibitions. The core exhibit follows the story of country music from its folk beginnings through its evolution as a commercial art form. Rotating exhibits examine a broad range of topics, from country classics to contemporary and emerging artists in American Currents: State of the Music. The Museum owns Hatch Show Print, a letterpress print shop opened in 1879, and it operates Historic RCA Studio B, where Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, and many others recorded.
