Volunteering

Volunteering is normally thought of as doing something for someone else: a person, a cause, an organization, an event.  We agree, that’s what it is.  It’s putting your time, skills, money and ideas into something worthwhile.  It’s going outside yourself to create something good.  You’re making something happen.  The first benefit of volunteering is feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Supporting the Summerland Arts Council helps create an interesting, vibrant and attractive community, one that people like to live in and visit.  People like to go to events, see art in galleries and around town, and have workshop opportunities for themselves and their children.  You don’t need to be an artist to volunteer with the Arts Council – you just need an appreciation for the arts!
