Volunteers & Docents
Volunteer & Docent Programs
The dedication of volunteers has been central to the growth and vitality of the Montclair Art Museum. By helping to create a diverse community of MAM members who reach out and serve the public, our volunteers further the mission of the Museum.

Clerical Help
Provide clerical support to the various Museum departments, including such tasks as computer data entry, envelope stuffing and filing.
Curatorial Department
Work with Museum curators and curatorial staff on a variety of projects.
Docent Program, Education Department
Due to limited space in the Docent Program, training for new docents is held every other year. Training sessions occur weekly during the academic year (September through early June), and there are additional workshops in the summer. Training lasts for a minimum of one year before individuals are considered for the Docent Program.
The Montclair Art Museum will be accepting new docents in the summer of 2012.
