"My volunteer job has been extremely rewarding since I began as a Maltz Museum docent in 2008. As a retired educator, I continue to be a lifelong learner. The Maltz Museum is the perfect place for me to keep learning about history, today’s world, and all kinds of people. I get to continue my teaching too! I care about my fellow volunteers and the staff, and they care so much about me."
