Leonardo's Docent and Long-Term Volunteer Program
The word docent comes from the Latin word “docere” meaning to teach. During the 1800s it was used to describe lecturers who were not on the salaried staff of an institution or a private/volunteer tutor. Today the term is used by many museums to describe the trained volunteers who provide educational services for the museum visitor. Other terms include tour guide, interpreter, and volunteer educator.
A dedicated docent or long-term volunteer are worth their weight in gold to organizations like Leonardo's. If you love Leonardo's and want to help propel Leo's into the future this might be a great fit for you.
