The Spring Docent Training at Graycliff has been paused for 2025 due to the construction happening on our grounds, as well as our focus on enhancing the training program to align with our new Visitor Center and guest experience. We will be sure to update this page as soon as plans are in place for the next training opportunity. We are always looking for individuals who can help with cleaning, gardening, and tour assisting. Read on below to learn a bit more about what the docent training process involves once it resumes.
Our docent training is open to anyone with a passion for architecture and history! Docent trainees are required to attend our docent training classes, which are a mix of both in-person and online meetings led by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteer leadership team who give ample support and encouragement along the way. Trainees are directed to reading materials and provided with in-depth information on the history of our site. Along with the classes, trainees also fulfill requirements related to both shadowing and giving mock tours before being certified as a Graycliff docent. A $35 materials fee is required. Upon completion of the program, new Graycliff docents are gifted a one-year “Martins” level membership to our organization (a $100 value).
