Do you have a curiosity about the Chesapeake Bay and enjoy interacting with people of all ages? Then becoming an Exhibit Host at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum could be just what you're looking for. The Museum will offer fall training from October 20 through 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
Exhibit hosts provide invaluable support to the Museum by welcoming visitors and helping them gain a deeper understanding of the Bay region and its history.
They greet audiences in the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum's innovative exhibits, historic Hooper Strait Lighthouse, interactive Waterman's Wharf display and the Museum's working boatyard making visitors feel welcome, answering general questions and encouraging groups to explore.
The four-day training teaches participants about the Museum, community history and storytelling, enhancing the visitor experience, and strategies for greeting diverse audiences. No experience is required and volunteers need not have an extensive knowledge of the Bay or maritime activities. A desire to learn about the Bay and the Museum and the time to commit to at least two-shifts each month are the only requirements. The Museum is particularly in need of weekend volunteers.
Most sessions will begin in the Van Lennep Auditorium, located in the Steamboat Building on Museum grounds. There will be a 30 minute break for lunch each day so please bring a brown-bag lunch. -- www.cbmm.org
