Volunteer Description and Expectations

HEART could not exist without our amazing volunteers!  Volunteers must be age 18 and older.  We expect our volunteers to be engaged, responsible, communicative, understanding, patient and respectful. We are all artists at HEART and volunteers cannot be afraid to jump in and participate wherever needed. Be creative even if you don’t think you can.  If at any time you feel uncomfortable or are unsure of what to do, please talk to one of the staff.  Below are some examples of our daily activities:

Daily Draw:

Pair up with HEARTists to keep them focused on the ‘Daily Draw’ prompt.  Once that person is finished, check to see if someone else needs help.  Feel free to collaborate with anyone that might need a little extra help.  This is a good time for casual conversation and getting to know each other while completing the work at hand.

Trailblazers:

Trailblazing typically includes leaving the studio.  Volunteers will be responsible for their own small group of HEARTists. Outings differ from day to day and can include walking/driving to a park, passing out flyers in the community,  visiting an art gallery, exploring creative spaces, etc. This is a great time for casual conversation and getting to know one another. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, communicate and grow relationships.

Performing Arts (Theatre/Music/Dance):

Volunteer help during this time is dependent on the production we are creating.  Typically, volunteers are paired with HEARTists to help keep them engaged and focused on their role or activity. If we are missing an actor, a volunteer might stand in for that actor or read their lines. Volunteers can also help with tech, stage props, back stage, etc.  Volunteers are expected to participate and help HEARTists stay focused and engaged.

Visual Arts:

Typically, HEARTists work on a project that differs from person to person.  Volunteers are paired with a HEARTist or small group to support, help focus, and guide each project.  

More Volunteer Opportunities:

Do you have a project that you’d like to bring to HEART?  Do you have a space we could explore?  Would you like to perform for or with us?  We would love to discuss your arts-based ideas and see how we can make them a reality!

Volunteers are also a major part of our productions.  Musicians, singers, actors and even those without stage experience!  We only ask that you have a desire to perform and a regular availability for rehearsals.

HEART is a happy and loving family of artists; a place to grow and learn together.  We love to have a good time and grow relationships through our art.  We transcend our abilities through collaborative art!  Come spend time with us and see how you can help!
