COMPAS impacts people of all ages with innovative, art-filled learning. We open the door for people to take risks, try something new, and to learn and grow as they work side-by-side with Minnesota's most talented artists
We are seeking 1-2 volunteers of any age to assist one of our professional visual artists during a children's summer camp held at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Under the supervision of the artist, the volunteer(s) will work with kids ages 6-12 as they create visual arts projects.
The project involves overseeing youth campers, and being actively involved in assisting kids with cutting, drawing and painting.
The camp is part of a collaboration between the Science Museum, COMPAS and SteppingStone Theatre.
Camp runs from 9-4 each day, and we can take volunteers for half days as well.
No experience required!

Mission Statement

Description
What we do
COMPAS has been putting creativity into the hands of Minnesotans for over 40 years. We’re not just a non-profit arts organization; we’re a non-profit education organization that teaches through art. Our professional artists work alongside students, teachers, senior citizens, hospital patients, teens, and just about any other community member to spark their imaginations and infuse their lives with creativity.
How we do it
Our artist tool kit includes visual artists, performing artists, musicians and writers, all committed to touching people by exposing them to hands-on creative expression. That creative expression can take the form of residencies, workshops, performances, community impact projects/public art or anything else you can imagine.
Why we do it
Creativity isn’t a matter of the haves and have-nots. It isn’t the privilege of the young or a luxury of the old. It is an essential piece of humanity. Through art, we aim to empower everyone to change their lives and change the world.
Why you should do it with us
Our teaching model, artists, and 40+ years of successes make us the most effective and trusted arts education program in the state. Over 2 million children, countless adults, and hundreds of teachers can vouch for that.
Through COMPAS programs, students, teens, older adults and other community members of all backgrounds and abilities come together to build confidence and creativity - and often realize they have more in common than they think. Thanks to support from donors, COMPAS reaches more than 600 young people each week with the power of creativity.
