Current volunteer team opportunities are posted below. Check back often; new opportunities are posted regularly.
Ready Crew: Be on call for TAC when a job comes up that we can use help with. Examples could include picking up a large donation, putting together shelving, moving furniture, etc. We’re seeking individuals that could help with any given job within a week or two of the call with exact timing flexible based on your availability.
Street Team: Assist TAC with putting up posters for upcoming exhibitions, events, and workshops around town. Choose locations in your own neighborhood!
Front Desk Greeter: Welcome visitors to TAC and be available to answer questions. Help TAC with admin projects. Shifts are Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 12-4pm, and Saturdays 10am-4pm. A minimum of two shifts per month is required. Bring your own stitching project to work on when it’s not busy!
Special Event Team: Work at TAC's exhibition receptions, community day events, Gallery Night events, and more. Greet attendees, staff a refreshments table, take photographs, etc. Upcoming date:
RESALE Event Team: Work at TAC's RESALE events, held ~4x per year. Welcome attendees, work checkout, staff the sales floor answering questions and keeping sale items organized, etc.
Donation Sorter: As part of our fundraising we accept used craft supply donations. Our donation sorters work together to help organize supplies and prepare for our biannual RESALE events.
Sewing Machine Expert: Help TAC on an ongoing basis assessing and testing donated machines. This is a job that will take 2-3 hours/month and can be scheduled based on your availability (weekday availability prefered). You don’t have to be an expert at repair (though if you are… even better!), just assessing the model, age, functions, and whether the machine is in working order.
