When you go to a museum or historic site and take a tour, chances are your tour guide is a docent. The word “docent” comes from the Latin word meaning “to teach.” Docents are usually volunteers or student interns, although there are some full time paid docents. To become a docent means more than just volunteering to help out as a community service. Docents study, train, and practice to learn what they must know and to keep up to date. It’s fun, challenging—and one of the very best resume builders you can imagine!
