Love learning about the natural world? Enjoy sharing your
knowledge with others? Then become a docent for the Museum! No
previous experience is necessary, only current enthusiasm.
Museum docents are volunteer tour guides, trained by Museum staff
to lead school programs for K-7th grades. Our Museum-based tours
include Ohlone Culture and History, Storytime, and general hosting
and exhibit training. Our field-based tours include the Wetland and
Watershed Walks at Neary Lagoon, and Santa Cruz Sandhills Exploration
at Morgan Preserve in Scotts Valley. No previous experience is
necessary, just a desire to learn about the natural world and share
it with young minds.
If you are interested in attending trainings, you are encouraged
to attend a Volunteer Orientation first. Please register online at
www.santacruzmuseum.org, or RSVP to Daniel at
daniel@santacruzmuseums.org or (831) 420-6115 ext 15.
The
Santa Cruz Natural History Museum has been bringing the delights and
wonders of the natural world to Santa Cruz residents and visitors for
over 100 years and exists to achieve its mission, “Connecting
people with nature and inspiring stewardship of the natural world.”
No longer a City-funded organization, the Museum now depends upon
local community support to keep our natural history legacy thriving.
