Spring is in the air, and that means it’s time for another Museum Ambassadors Community Day this Sunday! At the end of each spring semester, our high school Museum Ambassadors present student-led tours, scavenger hunts, and studio activities summarizing their experiences at the Cleveland Museum of Art over the past year. While the public only gets to see the culminating event of the program, a lot of work goes into this one day.

One of the parts of my job that I enjoy the most is watching the teenagers I work with in the Museum Ambassadors program change and grow during the their two years with us. I recently asked some of our current and former Ambassadors to describe what they were like at the beginning of the program.
