Volunteer Orientation
Saturday, November 2 at 1:00
Interested in making a difference and volunteering with MWCA?
Our Volunteer Orientation is a time for you to get know us and for us to get to know you ... so we can plug you in here in ways that use your talents and bring you joy!
Volunteer Orientation is usually held the first Saturday of the month at 1:00. If you can't make it at that time, please contact us and we can meet at your convenience during open hours.
Without volunteers, this place would fall apart!! We hope you can attend and get involved here -- it's a creative, relaxing, sweet place.
One of our on-going needs is a fun and relaxing one: Gallery Greeters! We'd like folks to be here during all open hours to hand out our class list and answer questions. Greeters are especially needed during special events and festivals. If you're a people person and have a few hours to spare each month, this is a great job for you!
We also need for volunteers willing to assist in our kids' classes and with our Special Needs/Healing Arts classes. If you would like to be placed on our list of volunteers to contact when our special needs classes are scheduled, please email our coordinator, Shay Youngblood. These classes serve the elderly; and children and adults with developmental delays or physical disabilities.
If you can make it to an Orientation, please RSVP so we can prepare enough materials. Email Hope to RSVP.
