This is an exciting opportunity to join our team at the California African American Museum (CAAM).

With an emphasis on California and the western United States, the museum’s permanent collection houses 4,000 objects, including paintings, photographs, film, sculpture, historical documents, and artifacts. CAAM avidly supports the work of under-represented artists of color to genuinely represent how people of the African diaspora have contributed to American culture and the world at large through temporary art and history exhibitions and public programming for visitors of all ages.
We’re seeking ten Museum Guides to join our team! Under supervision of the Guide Supervisor, Museum Guide, will be a part of a team that serves as the first point of contact for guests, ensuring that they have a pleasant, safe, and informative experience at the California African American Museum. We actively cultivate an inclusive atmosphere that embraces individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and life journeys, empowering them to excel and flourish. We enthusiastically welcome your distinctive contributions to our organization and the meaningful work we undertake.
