Museum Guide Training

March 29 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Tourhd
Make the Trolley Era come alive!

During their visits to the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, guests have the chance to travel back in time to the wonders of the Trolley Era- when the bright lights and clanging bells of the trolleys filled the streets of America. 

This experience would not be possible without our Guides, who lead visitors on this journey through the decades by welcoming them to the Museum and giving tours of our collection.  Join our team this spring and help us bring the excitement of the past to life!

Training Info

Session Dates (Pick One):

  • Saturday, March 29, 10:00am to 1:00pm
  • Sunday, March 30, 1:00pm to 4:00pm

During training, you’ll learn how to make each visitor’s museum experience the best one possible.  This class will provide tips for giving a successful tour as well as an introduction to the history found here at the Museum.  Content-related materials will be provided along with other resources- there is no background knowledge necessary!

At the end of your session, you’ll be on your way to becoming an official Museum Guide.  You’ll have the opportunity to shadow our experienced volunteers and practice until you’re ready to go.  There’s no required time commitment for either your time in training or as an official guide- everything is at your own pace.  Whether you volunteer once a week, or a couple times a year, we’ll be glad to have your help. 

Museum volunteers must be 14 years of age or older to volunteer without a guardian present.  To learn more about our family volunteer opportunities, please email mmeer@patrolley.org.

**Please be advised that all volunteers are required to have up-to-date PA State Clearances.  Click here to view clearance instructions.**
