Opportunities
After School Volunteers provide support one day per week for the semester or full year.alongside a Creative Action professional Teaching Artist (TAs) at one of the many elementary schools we serve!
Hours are generally 2:30-5:30PM or 3-6PM once or twice weekly. After School Volunteer activities might include: prepping art projects, helping film movies, leading games, encouraging students during class, and preparing for the end of semester parent sharing.
In alignment with our staff requirements, Creative Action After School Volunteers must show proof of COVID vaccination, in addition to a full background check. It is strongly recommended that volunteers have reliable transportation.
Day Camp Volunteers require the same skill set and hours are generally from 9am-12:30pm or 12-4:30pm during many school holidays. In alignment with our staff requirements, Creative Action day camp volunteers must show proof of COVID vaccination.
Special Event Volunteers----We hope to return to having at least one community wide event each month starting in October 2022, depending on the rate of COVID transmission, and we are recruiting energetic, creative, thoughtful individuals who can help us bring these events to fruition. Volunteer activities may include helping with set up and clean up, communicating with our partners and guests, helping facilitate art projects, and more!
