Volunteering with A Team Arts Education
Volunteering with A Team Arts Education is a great way to give back to the community, knowing your support is helping to support a local arts organisation. We need energetic and enthusiastic people who have a love of the arts and are passionate about helping young people thrive.

Roles and Responsibilities:
Quarterly meetings with the 2 Directors and the actions that arise out of these.
Liaising with the Directors regularly on progress.
In addition, we are looking for ‘hands-on’ volunteers to work with young people in the following ways:

- Volunteers – 20-25 years and studying an arts subject at HE or above. Opportunities to volunteer can include term-time programmes delivered on Fridays and Saturdays, our holiday projects, and our flagship summer holiday Academy.
