The Armory Art Center is a great place to obtain service hours while immersed in a creative and educational environment. Summer Art Camp Volunteers must be committed to completing an entire week of a summer camp session and be here all day from 8:30am - 4:30pm.
Volunteers can apply to be Teacher Assistants or Camp leaders. We will only accept a limited number of volunteers for each session.
