If you have been to Celebrate the Arts! in years past, you know how exciting it is not only for the students, but for the volunteers. This year, we are looking to serve approximately 500 students from White County Schools. The students arrive by bus and visit different stations on the campus to experience various forms of artistic expression which include theater, drumming, dancing, singing and visual arts. The message within Celebrate the Arts! is inclusiveness and some of the artists/performers have disabilities or work with people who do.
The volunteer opportunities involve rotating groups of students and teachers around campus or helping out at the artists stations.
- One volunteer is needed to arrive at 8am to blow up balloons.
- The students will be in five groups (each with a different color) and there is a need for two volunteers per group.
- 2 volunteers will navigate buses to unloading area.
- 2-3 volunteers will serve as floaters (must be able to carry 50 lbs.) to help distribute coffee & hospitality boxes, gather lunches from buses, be extensions of Terri Edgar, Youth Arts Instructor and Jenna Scaramuzzo, Performing Arts Director.
- Group leaders will help clean up artist hospitality boxes after the event.
- Arrival time for volunteers is 8:15-8:30 a.m., in Community Hall. The event ends at Noon.
- There will be a Disability Handout sent to volunteers prior to the event. This will be extremely helpful as we interact with students. Volunteers working with youth are required to complete a background check. SNC has the paperwork and will cover the fee for each background check.
