Get involved
Volunteers are the backbone of arts organizations across Toronto. Join the Volunteer Network and you’ll receive bi-monthly notices of a variety of volunteer opportunities, from a few hours a month to ongoing commitments. Just contact the organization directly if you’re interested.
Why Should I Get Involved?
Toronto’s arts organizations are fueled by the energy of new interns and volunteers. You gain valuable experience in a wide variety of areas, and become involved in the Toronto arts scene.
There are many ways to become involved, including
- greeting guests at fundraising events
- sending letters to arts supporters
- creating a website for a dance company
- joining a music group’s Board of Directors
- contacting media agencies to promote an art gallery opening
- ushering at a theatre performance
If you want to become part of our growing volunteer network, email Volunteer Coordinator at mail@torontoarts.org. Tell us a bit about your talents and what you’d like to do, and we’ll connect you to hundreds of exciting opportunities!
