volunteer

Through their various skills and interests volunteers provide services that without them would be unavailable. Becoming a volunteer can be a rewarding experience through personal enrichment, increased knowledge of the arts, and meeting people with similar interests. The success of the Averitt Center for the Arts depends on our volunteers.

 

We have several volunteer opportunities available, including usher, gallery attendant, accessibility guides, seasonal/special event workers, and internships. Scroll below for more information about these

exciting oppurtunities at the Averitt Center.
