The UM Museum of Art is hiring a team of part-time Gallery Educators to lead tours for students in Grades K-12.

The audience will be Southeast Michigan K-12 students and teachers, including all third grade classes in Ypsilanti Community Schools. You will welcome visitors, encourage collaborative conversations, and create a student-centered museum experience. You may occasionally learn and tour with current volunteer guides.  

In-person training sessions and tours will be held at UMMA on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30am-12:30pm. Attendance is required. All onboarding and training sessions are compensated.  Approximately two hours per week of additional independent learning is expected.
