The Georgia Museum of Art’s student guide program is a selective, year-long student leadership and ambassador program. This program presents an opportunity for first-, second-, and third-year undergraduates to dive into the museum’s collection and deeply engage with our public and campus communities.

Students research, create and lead object-based public tours at the museum. They also represent the museum at various campus-wide and museum events. Student guides advocate for the museum as a key space and resource on campus.

Students from any college and field of study are welcome to apply. No prior art historical knowledge or museum experience is needed. During weekly meetings, students will learn to develop original, research-based tours focused on objects and a theme they choose. Students develop key transferable skills, including critical thinking, visual analysis, public speaking and leadership.

This is a paid position at $13.50/hour with weekly meetings on Thursdays from 5:15 to 6:45 p.m. in the fall and spring semesters. Students are expected to work up to five-hours per week. Tours will begin during the spring semester and take place on Saturdays and Sundays. Students who successfully complete the program will earn an Experiential Learning Leadership credit.

Applications for the 2025 – 26 academic year are open until July 18, 2025.
