INFORMATION AND APPLICATION 

SUMMER CAMP VOLUNTEER SPOTS ARE FULL. WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS. WE WILL HAVE MORE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES LATER IN THE YEAR. PLEASE STAY TUNED.

Summer Camp Volunteering at the Armory Art Center is a stimulating, educational, and rewarding experience!  Our volunteers are essential to the Center's studio life's “behind-the-scenes” activities.  Volunteers will gain real-life experience assisting seasoned teaching artists and youth campers in various activities. Summer Camp Volunteers must be in high school; there is no incoming freshman.  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. If you are interested in volunteering and want to do it in a creative environment while gaining real-life experience working in the arts from an educational perspective, then this is the program for you!

APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER BEING ACCEPTED

Applying does not mean you are accepted as a volunteer. We will contact volunteers with whom we are interested in partnering to set up an interview.  All selected volunteers will be announced by the end of April.
