Applications are open for the Lanterman House Junior Docent program!

Space is limited in the program, so please apply ASAP if interested. Applications will close on January 20, 2025 at 11:30pm (or earlier if the program fills).

This program is open to current 7th-9th grade students who live or go to school in the 91011 zip code.

Junior Docents will attend three 90 minute training sessions to learn about the history of the Lanterman family, the house, and their community. The training sessions are scheduled for Sunday, February 2nd; March 2nd; and April 6th from 12:30 to 2pm.  Attendance at all three training sessions is mandatory.

Junior Docents, once trained, will assist at three community events during the year - the PTA Home Tour (May 2, 2025), the Summer Picnic in May (May 25, 2025) and our Holiday Open House (December 21, 2025).  

Junior Docents will be invited to help with a wide variety of activities associated with a particular event. A Junior Docent may be invited to be the docent for a room in the house sharing all of its features with our guests. Junior docents are also needed to welcome guests or assist with activities arranged for each event. 

Junior Docents are asked to make a commitment of 10 hours of volunteer time (including training), but may do more depending on interest and time. The Lanterman House is happy to sign off on volunteer/service hours for school requirements.
