Are you passionate about the space program and eager to share that enthusiasm with others? Join us as a Museum Docent at the American Space Museum! This is a unique opportunity to bring the fascinating history of space exploration to life for our visitors.
Whether you've worked in the space program or are simply a dedicated space enthusiast, we welcome you to join our team. If you have firsthand experience in the space industry, your stories and insights will provide a special, authentic perspective that enriches our guests' experience. However, prior experience is not a requirement-just a genuine interest in and knowledge of America's incredible journey into space.
We offer a flexible schedule to accommodate your availability, with opportunities to volunteer as little or as much as you can, from weekly to monthly, or even as a substitute. We're open Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm, and will work with you to find the perfect time slot.
As a docent, you will:
- Engage and Inspire: Share your passion for space with visitors of all ages, providing them with a memorable and educational experience.
- Personalize Each Tour: We provide a general script, but we encourage you to add your own observations, anecdotes, and unique insights to make each tour special and engaging.
- Enjoy a Supportive Environment: We offer a relaxed, fun atmosphere and comprehensive training to help you feel confident and prepared. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.
If you love speaking to people and have a passion for space exploration, this is a rewarding way to contribute to the preservation and education of our space legacy. Join us in inspiring the next generation of explorers and innovators!
