Meet Our Volunteers!

We love volunteers! Their hard work really greases the wheels by accomplishing detailed tasks Jennifer and I can't get to. From filing registrations, answering phones and organizing to lending a helping hand in the classrooms, our volunteers do it all!
So...let's meet them!
Susan Roberts
Susan volunteers Mondays and Wednesdays in the office providing administrative support. She also created our *NEW* registration database (yay!). Plus, she serves as editor for our printed material. In the past, Susan also taught and organized a free music education program called "Family Music Fun Night." With an undergraduate degree in Music Education from Plymouth State University and Masters in Theatre Management from Emerson, Susan is a dynamic presence at Creative Arts!
Issac
Issac volunteers on Thursday mornings. Though looking for a full time job in accounting, Issac generously donates his time by organizing and processing registration data. Since Susan is busy creating the *NEW* database and we are re-accumulating data, he helps organize our art room.
Kim Vetter
Kim is our friendly drop-in volunteer! She found us at the Reading Cares Volunteer Fair. Also looking for a full time administrative position, Kim practices her organizational skills by filing registrations, making deposits and organizing our office and art room. Thank you, Kim!

Chris
About half way through our spring semester, EMARC Recreation staff approached us with a fantastic volunteer/mentorship opportunity! Chris wanted to work with kids in an artistic learning environment but needed more experience. To learn job skills, Chris volunteered as a Teaching Assistant in Kirsten Brown's Drawing 102 class. He helped with project and class set & clean up, interacted with students, and also created projects of his own!

 Many students, staff, families and faculty volunteer their time to help achieve our shared mission. They volunteer at and help plan events, distribute fliers, help in the office, clean and donate services...the list goes on and on. Thank you, volunteers, without you we are certainly toast!
