| Ways to help |
MarketingWe are always in need of volunteer photographers and those with hours to give on a regular basis.DocentsDocents are trained guides who lead museum tours for children and adults. Candidate docents complete a 9-month training course before joining the docent corps, which is offered every two years. The next docent class will be forming in 2022. Docents sign up to lead 1-2 tours a month, for a total of 18 per year.Programs and EventsThe KIA hosts a variety of programs and events each month (each week!) and this is our primary and ongoing volunteer need. Tasks are varied — everything from selling drinks, to food preparation, to helping visitors complete art projects.AdvancementLend a hand with member and fundraising eventsGallery ShopWhat a beautiful place to put your retail experience to work — or gain some!Reception DeskGreet visitors, give directions, answer questions, and provide information about the activities of the KIA.LibraryWe appreciate help with staffing the desk during open hours, along with cataloging, filing, and circulation of library materials. |
