In brief

HMNH seeks Gallery Guides

The Harvard Museum of Natural History (HMNH) seeks volunteers to share their enthusiasm for natural history with museum visitors in hopes of helping adults and children develop a greater understanding of the natural world. Gallery Guides will attend eight training sessions and will work with live animals. HMNH is looking for volunteers who are able to commit to one morning or afternoon a weekend for one year.
