Teen Leader Program

High school juniors and seniors are eligible to become teen leaders at the museum. Participating students learn about the museum’s collection, special exhibitions, and careers in the arts. They hone their public speaking skills, engage in a variety of gallery activities, go on excursions, and participate in exchanges with other museum teen councils. Throughout the program, students develop their own gallery tours based on collection research. Program graduates are eligible to become Summer Teen Leaders, and have paid work experience at the museum during summer months.

The Teen Leader Program runs September through June and meets Tuesdays from 4–5:30 pm.
