Some volunteers can only donate their time occasionally and assist with bulk mailings, receptions, Artspirit deliveries, or specific one-time projects. Other volunteers staff our reception desk in The Arts Center ArtShop once a week, answering the telephone, greeting visitors, assisting visitors with purchases, etc. We appreciate our volunteers and depend on them!

As An Intern:

     The Arts Center has internship opportunities for Oregon State University and Linn-Benton Community College students as well as committed senior high school student interns. Our commitment to interns is to provide a diverse range of educational opportunities and training in a nonprofit arts setting. Our staff works closely with interns and cares about their personal and professional development.
     In turn, most of our internships are project-based and require at least a one quarter internship. Many of our internships require a two to three quarter commitment. We need and expect interns to be responsible, committed to their internship, capable of both working independently and in a teamwork format, and have excellent follow through.
      If you would like more information or have ideas for an internship, please contact Sara Swanberg, Executive Director.
