The Art School
Volunteers ages 13 and up are actively recruited for all classes at The Art School with a particular emphasis on children’s classes. The following criteria are used when interviewing a prospective volunteer:
- Enjoy working with children—experience is preferred, but not required
- Enjoy art! Again, an arts background is a plus, but not necessary
- Willingness to make a commitment to attend all classes, arriving 15 minutes early to help with setup and staying 15 minutes late to help with cleanup
