Goodwood Museum & Garden is seeking docents to lead tours of the Main House museum.
Docents are primarily responsible for leading tours of the Main House. Tour groups may vary in size from small groups of visitors to large school groups.
Occasionally, docents will be asked to be on site to assist in certain events, such as the opening of a new exhibit in the museum.
Docents support the Museum’s commitment to providing all visitors (students, seniors, adults, and children) with a positive, engaging experience. All docent training is supported by informed docents, staff, and board members. New docents will have the opportunity to practice their presentation skills, learn about Tallahassee history and the exciting stories behind it!
Prior knowledge of local and Goodwood history is not necessary; only an open mind, flexibility, interest, enthusiasm, and time for sharing are required.
Docents are given a handbook that acts as a guide to what information is conveyed while giving a tour.
The times of our tours are Tuesday through Saturday, 4 tours a day, broken into 2 shifts, mornings and afternoons.
Docents are requested to work at least 3 shifts per month for continuity.
