Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Free Arts NYC!
To minimize any risk of COVID-19, all Free Arts Day and Art Party volunteer opportunities are on hold. For future opportunities, please re-visit this page as the city enters Phase 4.
Volunteer at a Free Arts Day
Free Arts Days are special volunteer opportunities that pair elementary-aged youth 1 on 1 with volunteers for an afternoon of “mini-mentoring” and art-making. While working together to create art projects based on the day’s creative theme, participants create meaningful connections with someone they might not otherwise meet.
3 hour event, includes pizza lunch. Must be 18 years or older to volunteer.

Volunteer at an Art Prep Party
Each year over 2,600 children take part in Free Arts Days, where with the help of a volunteer mentor, they create theme based art projects. Free Arts needs support prepping the materials used in these projects. With your help, we will be able to prepare many of the materials needed in just a couple hours. No artistic experience necessary!
2 hour event. Volunteers must be 18 years or older. Volunteers that are younger than 18 must be accompanied by an adult – if this applies to you, please email freeartsdays@freeartsnyc.org. We do not accept volunteers younger than 14.
