Junior Docent Coordinator for the Summer

by Tara Morrison, Junior Docent Coordinator

I am excited to let you know that, because of your support, we have been able to grow the Junior Docent program from 5 young adults to 32 inspiring individuals. And, I am proud to say that 15 Junior Docents will be with us on a full-time basis and have set goals for themselves to dedicate more than a year of service.

I have learned in my experience through past work that young adults need encouragement, support, and belief in who they are. Providing those elements helps to make a difference in guiding each person into a successful future. Being able to work as the Junior Docent coordinator this summer has given me the opportunity to see our young people’s willingness to make a difference. My hope is that this program continues to reach and enrich more and more young adults.
