Summer of the Arts Volunteers...helping to make it all happen!
What could be more fun than volunteering at any one of the nearly 100 Summer of the Arts events this summer?
These great festivals only happen because of the talents and energy provided by the hundreds of volunteers who work anywhere from two hours to 200 hours!
We strongly encourage participation. It's a very rewarding and fun experience to see how these festivals are put together and run. If you are interested in helping in some capacity, click on the festival below that most interests you and you can read more about the volunteer positions for each festival. You can then register as a volunteer on-line and a committee member will follow-up with you to confirm your involvement.
Thank you for considering this opportunity!
