Jambassadors do not need to be “artistic” but are expected to be responsible, respectful, and eager to learn and contribute. Volunteer opportunities for Jambassadors include helping our Teaching Artists with studio classes, interacting with families and guests at public events, and many behind-the-scenes preparations.

How to apply...

We use volunteers to help usher guests to their seats, hand out programs, run concessions, scan tickets, etc. Teens can start volunteering alone starting at age 14.

These vouchers can be redeemed for any of our productions and have an expiration date of December 2022.
