Job Description
Occasional evenings & weekends.
The Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement/Community Connections seeks NKU students to be campus guides for our Preschool-12th grade outreach programs and community projects. We focus primarily on grades 3rd-8th. Campus guides act as leaders, hosts, and presenters to local schools who visit NKU. Guides will also be expected to be hosts, greeters, and NKU representatives at university-sponsored and campus events.
These group visits typically:
-Occur most frequently between 9 AM and 1 PM, Tuesday-Friday, but some tours occur in the late afternoon and possibly on weekends.
-Include a campus Walk & Talk where guides will show off NKU.
-Include a classroom experience or academic demonstration, such as a show at the planetarium or a musical performance.
-Include upwards of 120 students per visit.
-Visiting students are broken into groups of 25-35 students per tour group, so numerous tour guides are needed for large group visits.
-The number of group visits varies per week; guides pick and choose the tours they can lead; there is no requirement for minimum hours per week.
-Community events are periodic and could come up at any time.
