Program volunteers help our teaching artists as they work with children and their families. Volunteers assisting with classes have the opportunity to work one-on-one with children and they give teachers the flexibility to focus on overall presentation of projects or classes that include dance, music, visual arts and performing arts. To be a program volunteer you must be at least 18 years old.
We look for people who have worked with children who can be flexible, patient and have a gentle, nurturing style of interacting with people. A background in the arts would be helpful but is not required.
Training is required. Breanna’s Gift teaching artists work with each volunteer before and during the classes so they are familiar with the projects being taught. This volunteer training is continuous as volunteers work with different artist/teachers from all art disciplines. A background check is required and training includes information about working with children and their families with regard to special needs and confidentiality.
