Planning and Presenting Live Interpretive Programs
Course begins September 6, 2016

    This course is especially designed for Museum/Heritage Site
    volunteers and docents who have a passion for sharing their love
    of history, art, nature or other topics with visitors to their
    particular site, and provide their services on a volunteer
    basis.  Many of the docents we have had the pleasure of
    providing training workshops for are retired teachers,
    historians, naturalists or others with a desire to instill that
    love of their subjects with the visitors they meet and guide and
    really like connecting with people of all ages.  Join instructor
    John Veverka for this 4 week online course, part of our series
    of interpretation courses.

Grants for Museums and Historic Sites
Course begins September 6, 2016

    Identifying and winning grants from foundations and governments
    is a mix of art and science.  This course is designed for
    professionals either learning or reviewing their skills in
    raising money through grants.  Philanthropy keeps changing, and
    so does grantmaking.  Everyone on the team must contribute to
    raising money to do good work; those with grant-preparation
    skills are very valuable to the institution.
