Unpaid staff positions

Unpaid staff positions are available to those who want to make more of a time commitment to come to the office weekly or bi-weekly and provide program support. Available Unpaid staff positions are as follows:

Program Assistant: Tasks can include web
support, database entry, mailings, supply pick
up and filing.
Art Supply Coordinator: Secure art supplies to
pack our free shopping area for local shelters to get the much needed supplies
for their programs.

Internship

Three students per quarter/semester are accepted from schools and universities for internship. Interns learn all aspects of nonprofit and program development. Usual commitment is 8 hours a week for the length of the semester.

Office Support

Office volunteers are the most flexible opportunities as
they can accommodate a varied schedule.
Office tasks will be assigned based on the need at the time. Commitment
can range from 1 to 8 hours a day.

Volunteers are needed to assist with pick-up of donations,
supplies and other office errands for approximately 2 hours every other
week. Mileage will be reimbursed.

Event Volunteers

Volunteers also have the opportunity to volunteer at AWBW
events such as fundraisers (Zazou, Art in the Afternoon, V-Day), the annual Open
House and our art workshops and Program Trainings throughout the year.

Volunteers can serve as committee members for special event
planning such as fundraisers during the year.
