  1. I have a Bachelor’s in History from Northeastern, Il. University and I work part-time in a Head Start Program. I am seeking to supplement my income on week-ends. I have over tweleve years experience as a Preschool Teacher. Are there any openings in the museum for paid positions in the store or tours in the museum?
    Thank you for your time.
