Volunteer
at
Emmedia

Volunteering with EMMEDIA is a great way to support the local arts community, gain experience working in an artist-run-centre, and to meet new people!

Volunteer Opportunities

Our volunteers are an integral part of our centre, helping EMMEDIA hold our events and activities. The hours are flexible, and a variety of positions are available. Some volunteer positions are for single events (fundraising events and opening receptions), while others require a longer-term commitment (sorting and cataloguing archival materials).

 

If you would like to volunteer contact us at:
