Gallery Interpreters provide the human connection between the visitor and the artifacts, text panels, photographs, and hands-on interactives. Through these interactions, volunteers will connect the tangible to the intangible by bringing to life the history of how people and places have interreacted here for hundreds of years.
Requirements:
* Have knowledge of, or be open to learning, the history of the area, attend content trainings and supplement knowledge through different educational sources and research, such as: online, on-site records available in the resource room, and proper literature.
* During training, Gallery Interpreters will learn stories about individual settlers to share with visitors (scheduled and impromptu).
* Must be comfortable engaging with museum guests, potentially leading tours, and facilitating spotlight talks.
* The ability to interact with diverse groups such as children, adults, staff, and volunteers.
* Attend subsequent content training to grow knowledge of the area.
* Shifts available depending on winter versus summer hours. There is always the need for a Gallery Interpreter/Docent during open hours.
