Teacher
As an organization that strives to incorporate academics into our art, Art With a Heart is proud to have certified teachers working with our students.  If you are a certified teacher with a desire to give back to the community, we’d love to have you help with one of our after-school programs or summer camps.  Retired teachers (who are available during the daytime) may enjoy working in a kindergarten class.      


Classroom Assistant
Our classroom assistants help in so many ways.  Responsibilities for this position include setting up the art room, interacting with students, helping children follow directions to ensure completion of art work, and cleaning the classroom after class. In addition, volunteers assist with setting up student art exhibits. 


Photographers
At Art with a Heart we love to capture glimpses of our budding artists at work.  We also take pictures of their beautiful art work and our wonderful student art exhibits.  Photos are used for grants, brochures, posters, scrapbooks, our website and so much more.  We welcome all passionate and skilled photographers who are interested in helping us document our success.  


Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors oversees all property and affairs of Art With a Heart.  Board members are actively involved in fundraising, budget planning, organizational management, and community outreach.  In addition, members attend monthly meetings, serve on committees, volunteer in our programs, and attend planning retreats.  A two year commitment is required.  To learn more about our current Board of Directors, click here.
