Gallery Guide Program
Yale undergraduates are invited to apply to become student Gallery Guides at the Yale University Art Gallery. Gallery Guides offer tours for the public and lead outreach programs for the community, such as after-school workshops for children. Guides also organize special programs at the Gallery, including lecture series and social events.
Training occurs during the fall semester, with sessions every Thursday and Friday from 3:30 to 5:00 pm. During training, students meet with curators and faculty to learn about the collection and the daily operations of the museum. After the first semester’s training, Gallery Guides lead tours of the collection and develop and maintain interpretive materials and programs. The time commitment is approximately five hours per week.
The application process for 2008–9 will be announced in spring 2008.
