The Docents are volunteers who receive training from museum staff and local experts on the flora, fauna, and geology of San Diego County and Baja California. They interpret this information to school, scout, senior and community groups through guided tours and outreach programs.
Trainees attend monthly Docent meetings and three to four continuing education classes each year.
We also request that Docents commit to two years of service and become Museum members. The only prerequisite is enthusiasm for and commitment to the Docent program. Applicants must be 18 years of age by the start of the training class.
