The National Watch & Clock Museum is looking for volunteer docents to help lead group educational programs at the museum

The National Watch & Clock Museum in Columbia has North America’s largest collection of timepieces from around the world. The museum was established in 1977, providing exhibits of watches and clocks to demonstrate the artistry and science of timepieces of all shapes and sizes.

The National Watch & Clock Museum is looking for volunteer docents to help lead group educational programs at the museum. Docents do not need to be experts on watches, clocks or timekeeping, but do need to be willing to learn about how to point out and discuss pieces in the museum collection.

Training and mentoring by museum staff is provided, and there is a script that docents can follow. Docents are usually needed when there are large tours and groups at the museum, typically between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the week. For more information or to volunteer, please visit tinyurl.com/WatchandClock.
