What does a docent do?
A docent is a volunteer gallery educator. At the CCMH, our dynamic docent corps helps to create and facilitate conversation-based tours in the Museum’s galleries. Our docents provide an invaluable service to the community, especially the students who are often visiting the museum for the first time as well as senior groups.
Docents entering the training program in the summer of 2021 will commit to lead three tours per day. A background in art history is not required. Spanish-English or Czech-English bilingual skills are helpful, but not required. We ask that all new docents commit to remaining in the program for a minimum of one year.
Although CCMH docents come from all walks of life, they share a few common traits; each of our docent volunteers is curious, passionate about volunteering, flexible, and open to feedback, and enjoys interacting with people from all over Houston, Texas, USA, and worldwide.
