Volunteering with the Academy
The Academy Center of the Arts’ dedicated volunteers are an integral part of our success! It’s this core group of dedicated community members who make it possible for the Academy to offer meaningful art experiences for adults and children alike.
Time
Volunteers are needed daily. Some volunteer positions require an ongoing commitment, while others are one-time activities or on-call positions.
Background
The Academy strives to place volunteer applicants of all ages, backgrounds, and interests into appropriate assignments and encourages intergenerational, family, and group volunteering.
Service Hours / Course Credit
Students with community service hour requirements for school or service organizations may fulfill their commitment at the Academy. Students may also fulfill course credit through volunteering.
