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 led by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteer training team. Our team gives ample support and encouragement throughout the training process to get you successfully certified. 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).
Our goal is that upon completion of the Graycliff Docent Training Program, docent trainees will have the knowledge and confidence to present the stories of Graycliff in their own unique way, to the many visitors to our historic site.
2026 Class Schedule:
Graycliff is always looking for college and graduate students who are interested in a semester, summer, or, most preferably, a year-long commitment. Our internship program is best suited for students with the following academic focuses, though students in any field are welcome to apply.
Please contact us at volunteer@graycliffestate.org for application details.
Applications are considered on a rolling basis.
As the Graycliff story continues to be written, your financial support can help us write the next chapter.
