Student Guide Program

The Student Guide Program offers Yale undergraduates from all disciplines the opportunity to engage with original works of art and become familiar with a variety of museum departments. 

Program Overview

Student guides meet every Friday afternoon during the academic year to learn about the YCBA’s collections, develop an introductory tour based on their interests, and take trips to area museums, galleries, and artists’ studios. Applications are available in the summer for the upcoming academic year.
