Docent Volunteer Educators
Docent Volunteer Educators serve the High by conducting tours for both school children and adults. Selected by the High's Education Department, these volunteers complete a specialized, one-year course of study. Please join us on April 16th at 10am for an Open House. Staff will be onsite to introduce the program more thoroughly and answer questions. Applications will be distributed at the Open House. Please feel free to bring others along who might be interested in the DVE program! If you cannot attend the open house you can still apply, applications are being accepted until April 30th. Please note, this candidate class will be for individuals who can be available for training and touring during the day, Monday through Friday. For applications and more information, please contact Lisa.steinfeld@woodruffcenter.org
