Youth Volunteer Program
Ages 14 – 17
We have opportunities for youth (ages 14 – 17) to join our Youth Volunteer Team to support our Summer Art Camps.
As part of our Youth Volunteer Team, you’ll gain leadership experience in a creative and fun environment, make new friends and some art, too. Most importantly, you’ll be supporting the arts and arts education in our community. AGP Youth Volunteers will learn to work in a team and have an opportunity to support professional artists in a creative studio space.
