How Will I Do It?

CVM Teen Guides receive valuable training and experience in sharing the Chippewa Valley Museum'with the community. In addition to developing workplace skills - at the front desk and in the ice cream parlor - Teen Guides explore the museum, learn about curation of artifacts, and take behind-the-scenes tours. Teens who complete the programs training and service hours are celebrated with a certificate of recognition. Applications must be submitted by April 15, 2025 to be considered for this program.
