Volunteer

We are excited to kick off another exciting season at the Weill Center for the Performing Arts by welcoming YOU - our newly interested and returning volunteers - to our annual volunteer meeting/orientation!

We rely on our nearly 200 volunteers to help us provide entertainment and experiences for our community and visitors. We appreciate all you do to ensure each event is a success, and your service as an ambassador of the Weill Center out in our community.   

Please join us for our annual volunteer orientation meeting/orientation for this upcoming season!  We will share more about upcoming shows, refresh on position descriptions and emergency procedures, take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Weill, and provide exciting updates about the future of the Weill Center.  

Choose from one of two options for orientation.

MONDAY, AUGUST 5TH 1:30-3:00 - we will have sub sandwiches and nonalcoholic beverages available! 

TUESDAY, AUGUST 6TH 6:00-7:30 - we will have pizza, wine and beer, and a choice of nonalcoholic beverages available!
