Volunteer with us!
Second Adult in the Classroom
In this role volunteers will be expected to provide an extra set of hands during art camp. Volunteers will help set up the youth activities, provide additional supervision, and help with tear down and clean up.
If you have not volunteered in this capacity at the art center previously, then we must conduct an interview, and you will need to pass a background check before you may volunteer. Email director@bluffstrokes.org to schedule an interview and complete the necessary background check.
General Volunteers
There are many tasks for which we depend on volunteers. This might include general maintenance, small repairs, light cleaning, arranging the art materials closet, distributing promotional posters, being a second adult in the classroom for youth events, etc.
Also, if you have a special skill that might benefit the Art Center, we would love to hear your idea.
Email us for a tour and an interview to see if we make a good match!
