Represent Cleveland’s exciting lakefront to kids, tourists, and fellow 
greater Clevelanders by joining the best volunteer crew on Lake Erie.  The 
Steamship William G. Mather Museum at Cleveland’s North Coast Harbor is 
seeking enthusiastic and well-spoken individuals to become part of their 
Education Crew for the start of their 14th season as a floating maritime 
museum.  Free training is provided and no prior knowledge of Great Lakes 
Shipping is required, although helpful.

Volunteer tour guides navigate the 618-foot flagship freighter’s decks and 
steep ladders while guiding groups of visitors on an exciting trip through 
the ship’s 55-year history as a working ore boat.  Opportunities are 
available to work with children’s groups, bus tours, and senior groups, as 
well as taking programs to area schools, civic groups, and other 
organizations like Cleveland Metroparks and the Great Lakes Science Center.

New education volunteers may register for spring training (March 22, 27, and 
April 3) to prepare for the Museum’s opening on May 1st, however there are 
opportunities to join the volunteer crew mid-season.  Training is conducted 
from 8:30 am – 2:30 pm at the Coast Guard Club next to the
Mather on East Ninth Street and onboard the ship itself.  Trainee volunteer 
tour guides (called “docents”) receive a free Docent Manual and/or CD, plus 
get hands-on training with a seasoned mentor.  Morning sessions with 
refreshments are in the heated Coast Guard Club, with lunch and afternoon 
sessions onboard.

Topics include: Mather & Great Lakes Shipping History, Education Techniques 
(Guided & Station Tours), Serving the Public, General Guidelines & Safety, 
and Conducting Special Tours & Activities.  Each session will include a tour 
of the Mather with new docents leading tours on the last day.   For those 
who like to surf the net, an on-line manual is available through the 
Mather’s volunteer Yahoo group.

To register or for more information, contact Rob Catalano, Deputy Director, 
at 216-574-9053 or e-mail: wgmather at msn.com.  You can also find out more 
general information on the Mather at its award-winning website: 
www.wgmather.org.
