Our Interpretive Center is seeking Volunteer Docents for Summer 2018
Summer is upon us and at the Keeper’s House Interpretive Center our tour season is underway.
But volunteer docents are still needed!
Why should you consider helping out?
Docents at the Keeper’s Residence get to spend the day at one of the most beautiful and iconic locations on the Oregon Coast, meeting people from all over the world, and sharing an incredible story of how our lighthouse came to be.
Becoming a docent requires no previous experience, we will teach you everything you need to know to share our story. We have reference manuals to study and you will shadow one of our experienced docents before flying solo. All we ask is that you be able to:
- Work a 4 hour shift (11 AM to 3 PM) on the days you volunteer
- Be on your feet for the majority of the shift.
- Be a personable host to our guests.
- Be able to speak loudly and clearly to a group for about 15 minutes for each session
This is an excellent opportunity to develop your public speaking skills, brush up on your history, and spend time in and around the beautiful Heceta Head Lightstation.
Students are welcome!
