Other Opportunities
Got some time on your hands? Connect with the Garden Club to help out on our extensive grounds, join the Feather Dusters to help keep the mansion clean, or volunteer to make tasty treats for our Teas on Tuesdays. We have something for everyone.
Junior Docent Program
Do you know of an extraordinary kid going into Junior High? During the summer, our tours are handled by a cadre of young volunteers who learn to become museum docents. These Junior Docents facilitate tours for the public, help us maintain our beautiful grounds, and assist the curatorial staff with a myriad of projects. Our docents also learn key interpersonal skills, improve their public speaking, and gain important experience that helps kids achieve greater confidence.
Talk to your child’s teacher for a referral. For questions, please contact the Carriage House office.
