The Boston Public Schools Arts Department seeks current undergraduate and graduate students, studying in the fields of dance, music, theatre, visual arts, arts education, arts administration, and community arts to assist at various BPS district-wide festivals.
Volunteers will be charged with supporting BPS Arts staff in managing festival operations. Duties may include tasks such as preparing materials for the festival day, escorting school groups throughout the day’s activities, supporting teachers and students, specific artistic assistance, when needed, and miscellaneous tasks, as needed.
Participation in these events is an opportunity to connect with BPS Arts teachers district-wide, which may result in future collaborations. While there is no financial compensation for these positions, volunteers may earn credit toward fieldwork, internship or service learning requirements. Furthermore, volunteers will obtain important arts administration knowledge and a better understanding of coordinating and managing district-wide arts festivals in a public school district setting.
For more details, please see the attached volunteer application. Interested students should complete the attached application and return by email no later than March 30, 2012 (Those applying to volunteer for the BPS String Festival and Youth Arts Month Exhibition should return a completed application immediately, but no later than Friday, March 16, 2012): Nicole Prefontaine, Arts Technician at bpsartswebsite@gmail.com
