NEW YORK
When a young boy loses interest in a museum tour, guide
Hassan Mohamed expertly draws him back in.
And when another child interrupts, Mohamed takes it in
stride. “After I finish this, I’ll answer your question,” he says
gently.
Sounds like an experienced tour guide, right?
Nope.
Mohamed, 19, is a college student participating in an American
Museum of Natural History program
that trains young adults to become tour leaders.
It lets the college students design their own excursions
through the vast institution and uses their enthusiasm to capture the interest
of even younger minds.
