The Docent Guild One of the most vital and successful components of the Museum's Office of Educational Programs is the Docent Guild. Sixty men and women of all ages and backgrounds tour over 18,000 children and adults through the Museum's collections in over a dozen innovative, participatory programs. Once docent candidates have completed their initial training they are invited to audit classes in the art history department and other related departments with permission of the professor.
Docents continue to attend monthly training sessions on the collection and special exhibitions.
The Museum Society Volunteer Program provides a broad variety of opportunities to interact with and support the Carlos Museum. It is comprised of a corps of energetic and dedicated community members committed to the support and growth of the Museum. After a number of hours of service, Museum Society members will receive special Museum gifts and perks. After 48 hours, or one year of volunteer service, Museum Society members will receive complimentary Museum membership with all related benefits.
