Small Group Facilitators receive training to work with groups of 5-10 students during portions of OMCA’s 60-minute Guided Gallery Visits, with coaching and support from staff and more experienced facilitators.

Using gallery resources, help students look for evidence of key program concepts and model skills in support of program learning objectives.
This role primarily works indoors.
