Guilford Art Center Seeks Teen Volunteers for Summer Youth Program

If you like working with kids and enjoy all kinds of art, you’re an ideal candidate for our summer volunteer program! Volunteers will serve as classroom assistants, helping instructors and supporting young artists. Volunteers will receive community service credit if desired. Opportunities to help with morning or afternoon weekly sessions are available throughout the summer.
Please note: GAC is required to perform a background check on all teen volunteers since they are working with children ages 5-12. Details will be sent to volunteers and their guardians for permission.
For more information email Summer Youth Coordinator Julia Mannarino ([email protected]).
