The "Volunteer with Historic Denver & Molly Brown House Museum" opportunity invites individuals who are interested in history and enjoy working with a diverse range of people. Volunteers will get the chance to spend time in one of Denver’s most prestigious and authentic Victorian homes. The Museum is particularly in need of volunteer docents, or guides, who lead groups through Margaret Brown’s home and share the story of this remarkable woman and her times. Training on-site is provided, covering topics such as the life of Margaret Brown, the Titanic, group management skills, and public speaking. Participants should have an interest in learning and teaching about history and enjoy working with people of all ages. The program's delivery is in-person, held within the Molly Brown House Museum. The program's duration and schedule are not explicitly outlined, but volunteers are required to sign up for shifts. The deadlines for volunteering are ongoing, with prospective volunteers invited to apply at any time. The program is managed by Mike Erickson, the Volunteer & Events Manager, who has a team at hand to provide the necessary training and support for volunteers. There are certain prerequisites for participation, with an age requirement that docents must be over 16. While a specific background is not required, an interest in history and a willingness to engage with a diverse range of people is necessary. The benefits of this volunteering opportunity lie in the enrichment of historical knowledge, development of public speaking and group management skills, and the chance to engage with a community that shares a passion for history. The experience gained from interacting with people of all ages and backgrounds also adds to the distinctiveness of this opportunity.
