REACH is seeking creative, motivated, enthusiastic, and nurturing individuals to assist staff, teachers and students in supporting our mission. Even if you don’t think of yourself as an artist, we’d love to hear from you!
Ways to Volunteer with REACH
Become a Program Volunteer
The Program Volunteer assists the art teacher by helping with preparation of materials and clean up (put away supplies, wash tools, etc.) as well as helping children stay focused on the activity during the program. The Program Volunteer works as a mentor, helping to engage children in the activities by developing a positive bond with one or more children. The volunteer serves as a role model to help children learn and implement social, academic, and technical skills.
Become a Committee or Board Volunteer
REACH seeks community members to assist in furthering its mission and growing its presence in the community through committee and board involvement:
1. Board of Directors Members are the “keepers of the mission” and provide oversight and support to REACH Staff. Member Directors are involved in strategic planning and fund development to give greater REACH to the mission!

Become an Event Volunteer
REACH Event Volunteers are “ambassadors” for REACH. They help promote our programs at various events, assist event attendees with art making activities, or get needed preparations done during a work-day event. Some of REACH Events include festivals, quarterly open houses, art unveilings, fundraisers, and other community events. Event volunteers help with set up and take down, as well as assist with art activities being offered to the public. Activities may include helping passers-by do a small take home art activity, group art project, or art demonstrations to name a few.
Become an Administrative Volunteer
The Administrative Volunteer helps with “behind the scenes” activities that support our teachers, staff and overall programming. They help with such tasks as phone calling, flyer distribution, event prep, data entry, mailings and maintenance. Volunteers with particular skills in IT may be called upon to assist with computer, software application, and website tasks.
