History Museum Training Services
Is your organization in need of African American history interpretation training?
History interpretation training is essential for organizations looking to enhance their engagement with visitors. Effective training equips staff, employees, and volunteers with the skills needed to convey complex historical narratives in an accessible and meaningful way. This training not only improves the overall quality of presentations but also enriches visitors’ experiences by providing context and depth.

Does your staff need training?
Do your organization’s employees, volunteers, educators, or managers need some extra help or encouragement to share African American history and culture with different audiences? Training can give them the knowledge or tools they need to do a great job. BHS offers two main types of training: teaching about African American history and teaching how to interpret it.
