About Casa Docent

Casa Docents have an in depth knowledge of the house, the gardens, and Ole Hanson’s role as founder of San Clemente. Many senior, garden, historical and student groups throughout the county and beyond make reservations to tour the Casa and its gardens. As tours are scheduled, these knowledgeable docents will have the opportunity to sign up to conduct them. When there are insufficient tour opportunities to meet the minimum expected hours, docents are encouraged to contribute time in another capacity.

Steps to become a docent:

1) Let the Volunteer Director know of your desire.
2) Study the tour material as provided by the Volunteer Director.
3) Sign up and shadow at least three docent led tours.
4) Pass a written test and interview with the Volunteer Director.
