Volunteer Docents - Essex, CA

The Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association (MDHCA) is looking for volunteer docents in Goffs, California, 30 miles northwest of Needles, on historic Route 66. The 75-acre site comprises the 1914 Goffs’ Schoolhouse Museum, outdoor exhibits of historical artifacts, workspaces, & living quarters.  The good-natured, people-person would welcome Route 66 travelers and visitors at the Goffs’ Schoolhouse Museum, handle bookstore sales, and encourage the visitors to a self-walking tour of the grounds 5 days a week that includes Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 

We offer an RV hookup and utilities are provided or (or lodging facilities) on site for free for the duration, a one-year MDHCA membership, and an East Mojave Desert experience for the duration of your stay.  We are looking to fill positions throughout the entire year – so, we are looking for commitments of two-weeks or more.  Note: You must have reliable transportation and understand that the nearest grocery store is 30 miles away.  An application with references is required and a background check will be performed.
