Docents are expected to volunteer for at least 4 tours per month. Docents receive in-depth training that includes 6 sessions (over the course of 5 weeks) about the organization, site, content and best practices for educating visitors of all ages. Additionally, time for research and shadowing tours facilitated by experienced staff and docents is built into the training program.

Information to deepen content areas of interest that relate to the history of Tudor Place and the people who lived and worked here will be provided for docents to utilize at their own pace.

New docent training is generally conducted twice a year, once in the summer and once in the winter. Contact education@tudorplace.org or call 202-965-0400. To join an upcoming summer or winter class of new docents please fill out this application form.
