School Program
Docents

Do you love art and interacting with like-minded people? Consider joining our vibrant McMichael Volunteer Docent program as a School Program Docent.

What does a School Program Docent do?

McMichael Docents lead engaging, interactive school programs for students from JK to Grade 12, both in the gallery and on the grounds. Our pedagogical approach emphasizes dialogue and exchange, encouraging meaningful connections between Docents and student groups. By guiding programs such as gallery tours, Docents have the opportunity to explore a wide range of special exhibitions, as well as the McMichael’s renowned permanent collection that includes works by the Group of Seven, their contemporaries, and Indigenous artists.

The McMichael Canadian Art Collection has two Docent groups:

  • School Programs Docents are responsible for leading programs for school groups on weekdays.
  • Gallery Tour Docents are responsible for providing permanent collection and special exhibition tours to adult and special interest groups during the week and/or on weekends.

Interested candidates should complete the attached Volunteer Committee Application Form and forward with your resume to our Human Resources Department.
