Volunteers should be prepared for a productive, fast-paced 2–3 hours. Dress in clothes you can get messy, wear comfortable shoes and bring a refillable water bottle. All sessions are led by ACR’s Center Operations Manager.
At ACR, we’re always evolving and finding new ways to improve our space and better serve our community. These sessions are a chance to be part of that ongoing process, helping us maintain a welcoming, functional, and inspiring environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
Must be 15 years old or accompanied by an adult to volunteer.
