Do you love art, nature, and building community? The Kouba Gallery is seeking a dedicated Volunteer Coordinator to help lead our dynamic, nature-inspired gallery space inside the Chapter House of the Minnesota Valley Chapter of the Izaak Walton League.
The Kouba Gallery showcases rotating exhibitions exploring the human relationship with nature through painting, photography, sculpture, and youth-led art. Each month, our open houses and community events bring people together to celebrate creativity, conservation, and connection. Volunteers are essential to making this possible, and we’re looking for someone who can help cultivate, welcome, and inspire them.
What You’ll Do:
- Build relationships with new and returning volunteers, helping them feel connected and appreciated.
- Recruit and welcome volunteers for gallery installations, open houses, artist receptions, and community events.
- Coordinate communication by sharing opportunities, reminders, and updates in a friendly and encouraging way.
- Attend and represent the gallery at the monthly open house, serving as a welcoming presence and connector.
- Support a vibrant community culture where volunteers feel they are part of something meaningful—at the intersection of art and conservation.
Time Commitment:
- About 6–8 hours per month, plus attendance at the monthly open house.
- We ask for at least a 1-year commitment to help build continuity and strong relationships within our volunteer community.
Why You’ll Love This Role:
- Become the heart of the volunteer community at one of the Twin Cities’ most unique art spaces.
- Gain nonprofit leadership experience in volunteer management and event coordination.
- Connect your love for art, people, and conservation in one role that truly makes a difference.
- Join a nationally recognized, youth-driven conservation community while shaping the impact of the Kouba Gallery.
