Teen Volunteer Program
National Gallery of Art
Thank you for your interest in the Teen Volunteer Program. Student volunteers assist with clerical and administrative tasks that support the Department of Teacher, School, and Family Programs. Typical activities include preparing materials for art projects, data entry, photocopying, collating, filing, and assisting during teacher programs.
Candidates for the volunteer program must be rising juniors or seniors with a mature, positive attitude and a strong work ethic. The schedule will vary weekly, based on the number of projects to be completed. The time commitment can range from four to eight hours per week, with periodic weekend work as well. Service hours will be documented and may be submitted for school-based community service credits.
Volunteers for the spring term must be available to work from January 23 through May 25, 2012. Volunteers for the summer term must be available to work from June 11 through August 14, 2012. Volunteers for the fall term must be available to work from September 10 through December 19, 2012.
Parking will not be provided.
