Individuals interested in volunteering at the Weisman are always welcome.

Volunteer Tour Guide
Volunteers can learn about visual art and play a special teaching role at the Weisman by becoming a tour guide. Weisman tour guides offer interactive, informative, and fun tours for K-12 school groups, University classes, and other adults . Tour guides take a 6-month training class that meets one night a week to learn about the museum’s collection, history, building, and effective tour techniques. Credit can be arranged for taking the training class.

Being a tour guide is a great way to learn and to gain professional experience. To find out more or to apply for the program, contact Judi Petkau, youth program coordinator, at (612) 625-9623 or petka001@umn.edu.

Internships
Internships are available that pair a student with a Weisman staff member for at least one semester or the summer. Interns work on real museum projects, gaining invaluable experience for future careers. Credit can be arranged. For more information and an application form, contact Director of Education Colleen Sheehy at (612) 625-9677 or sheeh001@umn.edu.
