    We are looking for volunteers to conduct our short programs at elementary schools in Brooklyn and the Bronx. At the end of the programs,classes visit either the Brooklyn or Met Museums. At the museum, volunteers conduct tours to the children showing them the art from the class program. All volunteers must be 21 years and up. We ask volunteers to stay in the program for at least one year.
