Volunteer at ArtVenture Summer Camp

Every summer, VisArts needs volunteers to make our ArtVenture Summer Camp happen! Volunteers assist in the classroom alongside our teachers, help with check-in and check-out, print t-shirts and help us monitor breaks and lunch. We have volunteer opportunities for adults as well as for students ages 14 – 17 through our ArtVenture Youth Ambassador Program.

Applications to volunteer at ArtVenture Summer Camp 2026 will open on January 14, 2026. Please stay tuned!
