    Description

    Gallery Gurus are an important factor in providing student visitors with exceptional customer experience. With training in the subject matter in their galleries, they bring the Museum to life, helping students make lasting connections between what they learn in the classroom, natural history, and scientific inquiry. Through this volunteer engagement, an individual has the opportunity to become involved with NHMU and engage curious young minds with the thrill of immersive science education.

    Specifically, Gallery Guru volunteers will work with NHMU staff to welcome, accommodate, educate, and support K-12 school groups as they tour the galleries. Gallery Gurus will be trained to administer 3-5 minute interactive, inquiry-based activities that align with the Utah school standards. Volunteers will also work with NHMU staff to respond to visitors’ needs and questions regarding facilities and exhibitions, and to reinforce behavioral expectations in the galleries. Using these activities, volunteers will inspire learning, support Museum exploration, and foster in-depth engagement with Museum exhibits and content.
