Tour Guides aka Docents

Kansans truly value Kansas history, especially aviation history, and represent our largest group of visitors. But the museum also hosts visitors from all over the country and the world.

As a tour guide, you’ll meet some of the nicest people in the world, all interested in the story of Kansas aviation. They could be members of a local Scout troop, school children on a field trip, a family on vacation from another state, or executives from another country.

Since we opened in 1991, we’ve had visitors from all 50 states and from every country in the world. As a museum tour guide, you can be right there to meet these interesting folks, sharing the fascinating history of Kansas aviation and the story of our beautiful art deco building which is on the register of National Historical Buildings.

Education

Our education programs are possible because of volunteers who enjoy working with children. There are two types of education volunteers: those who help us keep the Lattner Learning Classroom, Boeing STEM Learning Hangar, and the Lattner Hanger fun places for the children to learn and play; and those who want to assist with tours when we host groups of children from kindergarten through high school.

The educational tour volunteers may help children find the right supplies to create with, show them how the simulator talks with the mock control tower, or even help them decide if they’d like to color or build. Our group volunteers will learn about the different activities within a school tour program and work with a group of students to help them learn principles of flight and engineering while they are here. You needn’t be an engineer to volunteer; though several of our volunteers are, we will train you and help you feel comfortable answering questions.

We then supply all of the pots, pans, bowls, utensils, etc. necessary to prepare the dinner.  Our kitchen have dual cooking stations and offer five sinks, six refrigerators, two stoves, etc. to help accommodate cooking for a larger population.  Generally we average 35 individuals nightly.  I recommend you check in with me a day or two beforehand and I can give you a more accurate headcount.  All Volunteers must be of High School age or older, and we ask that you limit your group size to no more than 12. We have found that it is easier to prepare casseroles or dishes that freeze easily or make good leftovers.  However; please feel free to be as creative as possible with your meal! You are welcome to come in anytime of the day to prepare the meal, as our families come and go all day. They eat when they are back at the house from the hospital. This gives them the freedom to remain bedside with their child! Feel free to send me your menu, this way if we have the needed items in our pantry or freezer I'm happy to set those aside for you to use for our families.
