Docent and volunteer opportunities include interpreting the history of a building in the park during special events and assisting with onsite school tours, public tours, and other activities.
A "docent" is a volunteer that has attended training for their position. No previous experience or prior knowledge of the history of Allensworth is required. Learn about the history of the town and residents of Allensworth at docent trainings held virtually and onsite at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park every year. Topics include techniques for giving guided tours, an introduction to California State Parks and the Volunteers In Parks Program, and more. You will receive information at the training to study. Enjoy meeting new friends while volunteering at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park.
Docents may range in age from student to senior citizen, must be interested in learning, and have a positive, friendly attitude. A minimum of 12 hours per year is requested but scheduling is flexible. Applicants must complete a preliminary interview, consent to a background check, complete the docent training program, and have reliable transportation to and from the park. Join the Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park volunteer family and bring history to life!
