The Summer Docent program is a work readiness and leadership program with a focus on public speaking.

They are scheduled for a 4-week session during the summer. They are on site Tuesday – Friday for 6 hours daily. During their time here they participate in round table discussions, complete readings on various topics, and engage with visitors by greeting them, giving tours and leading a craft activity.
