Volunteer

Volunteers are vital to our programming. They staff events, help with classes, and build meaningful relationships with our students. Whether through one-on-one student help in classes, art project prep in the ACT studio, supply organization, or providing direction through one-time events, we are so thankful for our volunteers.

Individual Volunteers

For individuals looking to volunteer, we offer three main volunteer experiences:

​

1. In-class support for our youth and adult programs.

2. Staffing events (community programs in the area or at fundraising events)

3. Preparing art projects and supplies for upcoming programs.

 

Ready to Apply?

 

First, fill out the brief volunteer application form online. Please note that all volunteer placements will require a background check.

Schedule & Attend Volunteer Orientation
​

Once a volunteer application has been completed, schedule your volunteer orientation with us! During orientation, we will work together to decide which volunteer area is a good fit for you based on the interest areas you selected in the application.

Our volunteer opportunities are for those aged 16+ (*see note). Please fill out an individual application if you are a young adult looking to volunteer as yourself. If you are interested in having your class or club volunteer with ACT please fill out the Group Volunteer Request form.

Interested in volunteering over the summer?

​

Check out our Young Adult Summer Volunteer Cohort program!

​

*Note: If you are looking to volunteer as a family and you have kiddos younger than 16 who want to participate, a supervising adult is required to remain present for the entire volunteer shift. Anyone in the family who wants to volunteer and is 16+ should fill out their own individual applications. Please be in touch with the Program Coordinator for family volunteer opportunities, so we can pair you with the right opportunities for your age groups.
