| VOLUNTEERISM: Meaningful engagement
Art museums as non-profits greatly depend upon the talents, experiences, and hearts of their volunteers to help achieve the level of reach and impact they could not realize through paid staff members alone. Our adult and youth volunteer program saw an increase in it numbers from 69 to 150 volunteers. these professionals, interns, community leaders, museum members, and students contributed over 2,700 hours at the Center. This level of "hands-on" contributions defines our museum and larger Salisbury-Rowan community as "extraordinary."
View the many pages of our website to gain insight to the broad range of programs and services provided by the Waterworks to find an area that inspires you. You can volunteer to help build your resume or build your spirit. We would like you to be a part of our caring--and high impact--team.
Volunteer opportunities at the Waterworks exist in a wide range of areas and time commitments. From serving as a welcoming greeter for exhibition openings, to planning or conducting fundraisers and family day events, to becoming a docent or classes and workshops assistant, there is an important role for you, or someone you know, to play. If you are a newcomer to the Salisbury-Rowan area volunteering can help you meet friends and professional contacts in meaningful ways. Our volunteers include working professionals, semi- and fully- retired citizens, and students from middle school through graduate school levels.
