<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Jessica Parker and I’m the museum education specialist at the Yiddish Book Center. I wanted to share with you that we have started a <a href="http://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/about/employment#field">volunteer docent position</a> for our <a href="http://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/visit/field-trip-program">Field Trip Program</a>. Since you’re in related fields or at partnering institutions, I thought you might know people who might be interested—students looking for education-related internships, grad students who may want a bit of a break from writing, retirees who have some time to spare—this is for anyone local, not just students, so please share with your extended networks. <!-- o ignored --></p>
