Volunteer Opportunities Available The education division is currently recruiting
volunteers for a variety of programs. Volunteers are needed to serve as docents
for student tours, pre-K through high school. Fluent speakers of Russian,
Japanese, German, and French are sought to conduct tours for high school and
adult visitors, and other volunteers are needed to offer tours of the collections
to adults on the weekends. A comprehensive training program is provided.
Volunteers play a vital role in fulfilling the National Gallery of Art's mission
to serve the public. Volunteering offers a rewarding experience and enhances
one's appreciation of the Gallery's permanent collection and special exhibitions.
