The Docent Council of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco is composed of over 200 docents who lead public tours of museum galleries and special exhibitions, and conduct art-related lectures and presentations. College students interested in museum education can gain hands-on experience interning with the Museum Ambassador Program. Interns serve as mentors to the high-school age Museum Ambassadors and provide supervision during all phases of the program. Interns research museum collections, present training lectures, assist in devising curriculum, and supervise Ambassador presentations both in the community and in the museum. The education department also coordinates internships in other museum departments.
Internships are free.
Academic credit is available. For more information call 415.750.7641. To become a Museum Ambassador call 415.750.7641.
