Tour Associates

The International Civil Rights Center & Museum seeks a diverse staff of professional interpreters for public tour presentations in our acclaimed Galleries portraying the story of the Civil Rights Movement. We are looking for tour guides who have the skills to bring an authorized, historically authentic, curated script to life, with a background of knowledge to engage visitors’ questions and conversations, and with the critical judgment and creative instincts to develop our offerings further. The Museum will offer formal, paid professional development to prepare such new part-time employees specifically for this key role in the organization’s expanding national and international appeal to people seeking to understand the long and continuing human struggle for civic belonging, equal status, and human dignity. On-site tours take place in the restored F.W. Woolworth’s landmark where the Sit-In Movement began in 1960, and we also offer interactive online tours.

For 14 years, the Civil Rights Museum has continuously ranked as the Greensboro area’s No. 1 visitor attraction on TripAdvisor.com. To maintain and enhance the quality of our educational work, are looking for well-informed, curious, and affirmative-minded persons with a passion for personal communication.
