About MOCA Teen Council

MOCA Jacksonville’s Teen Council is a volunteer group that empowers local high school students by creating programming by and for teens. MOCA Teen Council members meet twice a month to learn about the museum, engage with different departments, develop mission-driven projects, and plan an annual event for local teens. As MOCA Teen Council members create and implement programs, they will open doors to new audiences. Members also earn volunteer hours for their participation that count toward college and scholarship requirements.

MOCA Teen Council's 2026-27 year has been generously underwritten by First Horizon Foundation.
