The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (ASDM) is now accepting applications for their docent program. Training classes will be month-long pieces separated by two months of targeted, on-grounds practice. New docents will be encouraged to complete all 4 didactic training cycles, but will need to complete a minimum of 2 cycles in order to earn the badge and title of “Docent.” Training will involve at-home, self-guided study in addition to on-grounds lectures and hands-on practice. Our first on-grounds training will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
The training schedule can be found on the ASDM website (https://www.desertmuseum.org/center/edu/docents.php).
Applications are now being accepted through the end of August – depending on the level of interest and response received. Individual interviews will be scheduled with each applicant. Final decisions will be announced by September 13th. The anticipated class size will be below 30 if possible.
