Be part of the joy!

The Joshua M. Freeman Foundation Volunteer Corps is more than just service (and that's quite a lot on its own); the Corps represents community, purpose and commitment to advancing arts access for all.

Volunteering for the Foundation, through Freeman Arts, Foundation Support, or the Arts Access Initiative, is a rewarding and inspiring way to support the values, purpose and mission of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation.

We maintain an extensive volunteer program to help provide operational support for our programs. Each year, more than 250 enthusiastic volunteers contribute their time, talent and energy to provide vital support, serving more than 100,000 guests who visit Freeman Arts Pavilion, another 30,000 students who enjoy our Arts Education programs, and more through our fundraising events, Spotlight Series, Community Partner events and beyond!

The impact of volunteer service is felt far and wide in our organization, and we are grateful for each volunteer and every hour donated that helps us fulfill our mission!
