  • classroom volunteer

    Docents and School Coordinators

    Due to limited financial and volunteer resources, select Art in Action schools often request volunteers from outside their school community to help implement or teach the program. Our passionate volunteers help make it possible for the students attending these underserved schools to enjoy art.

  • Intern

    Art in Action's robust internship program accepts college student interns during the summer and throughout the school year, based on the organization's needs. Students gain valuable work experience in all areas - including but not limited to: business operations, fundraising, curriculum development, and more!

  • Event Committee

    Join a fun and devoted group of volunteers to help plan and implement our major annual fundraising event.  We welcome volunteers who know how to throw a party!

  • Pro Bono Projects

    As a growing non-profit, Art in Action relies on Pro Bono support for highly skilled services like accounting, legal, graphic design, database administration, website design, marketing and curriculum development. We work with individuals and organizations who are interested in sharing their skills to help us grow.
