Created in 1984, the Dalí Museum Junior Docent Program is a summer student program offered to children 9 to 13 years of age. The Junior Docents are trained in a one-week mini docent class where they receive personal attention as they learn about the collection. This program concludes with a public reception where the children conduct the tour,sharing their knowledge of Dalí and his paintings with the public. Junior docents are encouraged to put the information in their own words, helping them to appreciate art in new ways. They participate in fun, surreal-inspired activities; and they make new friends.

Ultimately, the Dalí Junior Docent Program benefits students by building self-esteem, enhancing their speaking skills, providing opportunities to verbalize personal choices, and bringing families into the museum to share in the students' accomplishments.
