Every fall The Jewish Museum recruits students for the Junior Docent Program, an exciting experience for teenagers to explore Jewish history and culture through art and artifacts. As a Junior Docent, you will learn about the Museum\'s vast collection of Jewish ceremonial art, fine art and artifacts and be trained to provide interactive gallery tours for families. Junior Docents also assist with a variety of family programming including drop-in arts and crafts in the Activity Center, storytime sessions and family sketching activities in the galleries.

Junior Docent responsibilities occur on Sundays. A five-week training program begins on consecutive Sundays beginning in November, 2003. Participants learn unique ways to interact with family audiences, how to teach using objects, and gain an understanding of both the permanent collection and special exhibitions. After completing the training program, Junior Docents are required to commit to at least one Sunday per month for three hours from December, 2003 through May, 2004.

Become a Junior Docent and take pride in communicating knowledge about your Jewish identity, while making new friends from a variety of backgrounds and fulfilling your community service hours or internship requirements. '; $img_start = 'RIGHT'; ?>
