They volunteer in a variety of ways at the McNay, from facilitating Education programs, to participating in Special Events and fundraisers, all while earning community service hours.

Interested in becoming a Teen Art Guide at the McNay? We would love to have you! Peep the requirements below to make sure you qualify and have the necessary availability.
All Teen Art Guides enjoy a mentored experience in a museum setting to include behind the scenes access to programs and special exhibitions, one-on-one time with curators and other Museum staff, personal and professional development, and opportunities to participate in exclusive events such as fundraisers, galas, and exhibition openings.
As a Teen Art Guide, you should be excited to learn and talk about works of art, as well as be committed to making the McNay a safe space for all visitors. There are a variety of ways to participate as a Teen Art Guide: volunteer at Museum programs, participate in offsite events like Chalk it Up, join the Teen Takeover Committee to plan teen programs at the McNay, and more! Although you can always volunteer as much as you like as a Teen Art Guide, there is a minimum level of participation required.
Teen Art Guide candidates apply at the end of their sophomore or junior year to participate in the program during junior or senior year. Applications for the 2023-2024 season are now open.
Should you be accepted into the TAG program, you must attend an orientation in July. If you have any questions pertaining to the Teen Art Guide program, please email teens@mcnayart.org or call 210-805-1767.
