Volunteer Docents
The Norton offers an extensive variety of tours. Each docent trains for several of these and then leads family, community, and school groups on our core tours and/or participates in our special "First Saturday" tour program with special tours given the first Saturday of each month. Volunteer docents should be enthusiastic about working with people, especially children, and have public speaking skills.

Administrative Volunteer
Occasionally, administrative departments may request assistance with assignments that range from research to clerical work. Placements are made when there is a departmental request for a volunteer. Opportunities may be one-time, one-project, or on-going. Administrative volunteers attend a one-time orientation at the Norton. Specific training is on the job.

Performance Volunteers
The Norton is instituting a program of performance which will include storytelling opportunities with young children and musical performances throughout the Gallery at various times of year in association with special events. This provides an opportunity for those interested in honing their performance skills with an eager audience in a public setting. Volunteers will need to audition for our Tour and Special Event Coordinator.

Commitment
The Norton would like docents to make a one-year commitment. Special arrangements will be made as needed for administrative and performance volunteers. All volunteers will receive a Certificate of Recognition, listing their hours of service to the Gallery.

Eligibility
We request that all applicants:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Provide their own transportation to the gallery or its venues
• Be comfortable with speaking and presenting to large groups
