Docent Training
New and on-going docent training (programs with guest speakers, program publicity, and printed materials) is part of the Children's Education & Transportation Fund as well, since docents must be continually trained to tour the students.
Our many docents are a very important part of our public education program. Docents complete a rigorous but very enjoyable and interesting training program to be able to tour school groups, car clubs and other visitors.
If you live in the area, please consider becoming one of our valued docents. Meet new friends who share your common interest while enriching your life by learning fascinating new things. Call 925.736.2277, extension 236 or 238, for more information.
