The primary function of a Docent at The Square is to serve as a tour guide for current museum exhibits. Many docents get to work with Great Falls Public School 3rd grade students as visits to The Square serve a portion of their curriculum. Additionally, there are opportunities to work with early childhood, middle and high school students, special needs groups, and adults.
