Volunteer Opportunities

Importance of volunteering
Social Media Initiative

To be considered an active ACW member you need to volunteer for a minimum of six hours a year. There are many different ways to be involved in ACW as a volunteer and many of them pay small stipends. We are a collective so we rely on everyone to do their part in some way. You can choose a variety of ways to participate. Below are a few of the ways you can help out.

  • Install and uninstall
  • Working a welcome table
  • Researching grants
  • Graphic design work
  • Photography services

See. Say. DO – Squirrel Haus Arts (October 2018)

One event, over 700 attendees, nine performances, 7 workshops, 20 artists, 20 expert voices. All participants were paid $250.

Twenty established and emerging artists and their topic expert team members created social and environmental justice works, transforming the cutting-edge art space Squirrel Haus Arts in South Minneapolis into an inviting and amazing universe which draws the visitor into a thought provoking, interactive journey with the intent of inspiring action in our community.

Topics include Recovery, Gender/Sexual Equality, Disability, Water Quality,Wellness, CTSD, Compassionate Conversations and Labor/Union issues.  Teams learned from all the “voices” as they built the art objects and workshops.

What is an Authentic/Expert Topic Voice?
