About the Program
In the 2011-2012 Season we had 62 active volunteers, contributing over 407 hours of time to our program. We welcome both students and community members, and we conduct training sessions to teach our volunteers what they need to know.
Volunteers are absolutely vital to the success of our program. Our volunteers help by serving as ushers, working in the box office, selling artist resources at performances, distributing marketing materials, and a variety of other tasks essential to the program.
The volunteers that serve as ushers are our single most direct link to our patrons. We consider our ushers to be part of our public relations team, and rely on them to give the gracious professional service that makes our patrons feel cared for and comfortable.
Requirements
Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age, and must complete a volunteer information form. Desired traits include excellent communication and people skills, awareness and sensitivity when working with a diverse group of people, positive attitude and willingness to take direction, and reliability and punctuality. Above all, a love of the arts! Opportunities for volunteers are provided without regard to religion, creed, race, national origin, age, gender or disability.
Training
We consider every applicant in terms of his or her availability, capability, and interests. We provide all the training needed for each volunteer position, and are careful to ensure that all our volunteers feel comfortable in their assigned roles.
