We’re looking for people to join our team of dedicated volunteers! Jessica Temple, volunteer programs assistant, shares more about the program in this guest post.
There’s an age-old saying in theater: “the show must go on.” At Walton Arts Center, we say something similar about our volunteer team: the show can’t go on without them! We have a dedicated corps of volunteers that are involved in every aspect of the WAC—helping in the administrative office, box office, concessions, ushering in the hall and more. What is it about WAC that keeps this team engaged and keeps them coming back to volunteer? We asked and according to our volunteers, it’s the people, patrons, volunteers, shows and fun. We think you might agree that these are great reasons to volunteer with us too!
Volunteers work closely with WAC staff
Volunteers at Walton Arts Center get to interact with a variety of people behind the scenes and during performances. Volunteers work alongside staff and crew at Walton Arts Center before performances to stuff and deliver programs, greet vendors, decorate, and set up for special events. At performances they provide excellent customer service to our patrons.
Volunteers are central to patron experience
For the volunteers at Walton Arts Center, the patron experience is the top priority. Volunteers are the first and last people patrons see when arriving at and departing from a performance! Our volunteers love interacting with our patrons and ensuring that they have the best possible experience. They make this a priority for patrons of all ages whether it’s helping students at education shows get to and from buses or scanning tickets for a family attending a Broadway performance.
Volunteer relationships turn into friendships
The volunteer team is a great place to meet other service-minded individuals. Friendships are formed and socializing occurs as our volunteers work alongside each other in a supportive and creative environment.
Volunteer perks include social activities
Volunteering isn’t all work and no play. There is an incredible sense of community that is established inside and outside of the performance hall. We host a variety of social activities like game nights, happy hours and potlucks for our volunteers!
Volunteers are part of the show!
All of our volunteers share a common interest in support the visual and performing arts for our community. Our volunteers help us bring a variety of world class entertainment to the area and our volunteers are a vital part of that process.
