Parents and Volunteers: Read this page before YAA orientation
YAA Orientation will provide further information and training about all the different kinds of volunteer opportunities our museum has to offer. Participating in each kind of volunteer opportunity is essential— finding where you are most comfortable and effective will take some time but it is well worth the efforts! YAA VOLUNTEERS WORK TOGETHER IN ORDER TO DELIVER THE YAA MISSION OF, “CREATING INSPIRING, INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES IN WHICH ART IS CENTRAL TO SHAPING YOUNG MINDS AND ENRICHING OUR COMMUNITY.”

Volunteer Characteristics: WELCOMING,  LOVE KIDS, PROFESSIONAL, PASSIONATE, HELPFUL & FLEXIBLE  
Here are some areas you as a volunteer may volunteer:

MUSEUM EXHIBITS: The “home base” of YAA, weekday/end volunteers at the Museum will be responsible to help with a variety of tasks. Art birthday parties, art making stations, tours, exhibit maintenance, prep work and additional art programming; among other duties, are a few of the most important jobs that weekend volunteers at the Museum have. Learn daily YAA operations!

CAMPS & CLASSES: The opportunity to learn alongside YAA Art Educators and be an art teacher’s assistant in classrooms during our programs of camps, classes and workshops. Interact with, learn, and teach kids through art!

SPECIAL EVENTS: YAA hosts a variety of special events for our museum members as well as the public. Special events generally take place Friday evenings or Saturdays and will therefore include similar responsibilities to weekend volunteering at the museum…with extra added art themes, programming & fun! Schedule, prep, and attend artful Special Events!

OUTREACHES: Part of the magic of YAA is the ability we have to share our passion for art with those outside the museum walls! YAA supports the arts by being present in the community and spreading art education to the rest of South Florida at other community events & happenings! Connect with the community & spread the YAA mission!

Much of volunteering with YAA is making personal connections with people through art. Whether or not you are a practiced artist does not matter— Young At Art Museum celebrates the skills and personalities of all our volunteers and each is just as important as the other. It is important to remember to be flexible, open to learning and trying new things, as well as figuring out where you feel most confident when volunteering with Young At Art Museum to set yourself up for volunteering and hands-on learning success!
