We are looking for people who have experience or special talents in various areas of arts and culture to lead short, one-hour events. Maybe you're great at crafts, acting, or incredibly knowledgeable about some area of cultural interest.
We'd love to have you lead or participate in an event such as a performance, class or activity. You would get to interact with the public, engaging people and promoting learning.
These activities will take place in locations that target low-income families and individuals. Examples of past locations include: a bus terminal, fast food restaurant, and a hospital. Events can be indoors or outdoors.
Culture Shock events generally last one hour and volunteers should plan on arriving 30 minutes before the event starts.
An orientation manual will be provided to Culture Shock volunteers.
Why would you want to be a Culture Shock volunteer? You can:
- Improve the quality of life of low-income and distressed populations
- Get to know your community
- Share your love for this art, craft, musical or theatrical genre
