Volunteer for Art Buddies
3.30.10 / 2:27 PM
Be a creative buddy to a child who needs you.
This spring, work one-on-one with your child while creating side-by-side with a group of other creative people from advertising, design and architecture.
Help your child know the joy of creativity and self-expression, and the fun of working closely with a creative person like you.
Spark imagination
Make a fanciful and unique costume together, something your child may have never thought possible. Inspire your child with our huge collection of art supplies, including fur, feathers, fake jewels and all sorts of wild stuff. Plus, create a journal of your experience together - a Buddy Book your child will take home.
Share your career
Bring something that shows your child what you do. Most of the kids have no idea what a creative job in advertising or design is like.
March in our parade
At the end of the program, pose with your child for professional photographers, then celebrate your child's achievement in an exciting parade and performance. Afterwards, join your fellow volunteers at a party in Uptown.
