The Museum of History and Art, Ontario is looking for people who enjoy local, regional and California History, as well as Art History and appreciation.

Training topics will vary each week giving the docents a broad view of information needed to conduct fun and successful tours. If you have a friendly, enthusiastic character and are willing to speak to groups of people, particularly children and young people, this program’s for you! |
