Social Media Volunteers

If you're on Facebook all the time anyway, please spend a few hours helping us to Save St. Anthony's and reopen our center!
We hope that volunteers can commit for at least 6 weeks. Ideally, we can have a regular weekly office schedule of 3 or 6 hours per week. Or, we can meet the first two days, and then you can work remotely after.
We also welcome busy volunteers who can only come for one day, and dedicated volunteers to coordinate blogs around specific projects.
We have two volunteers who are with us for the Spring Semester and are looking for two new volunteers to take over after May 9th.

Mission Statement
To develop programs in the Capital Region that enlighten, empower, and engage our diverse community through the arts.
Description
Grand Street Community Arts was formed by concerned neighbors in the Mansion Neighborhood in 2003 as a way to bridge the cultural and economic divides within their neighborhood. The organization negotiated the purchase of the former St. Anthony’s Church, a long-vacant cornerstone of the community and a link with its immigrant past.
Constructed in 1907, St. Anthony’s Church not only filled the spiritual needs of parishioners, but also helped immigrants adjust to new lives in America by offering English classes and hosting performances, weddings and operas. Thus, St. Anthony’s has always been a center for the arts! In 1972, following the construction of the Empire State Plaza and the demolition of many homes in the South End, St. Anthony’s had lost its congregation and closed its doors. In 2003, Grand Street Community Arts purchased St. Anthony’s from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, reopening its doors as a community center.
Since 2004, Grand Street Community Arts has offered a variety of creative programs, mostly focused on youth and access to public space. Our most successful program is YouthFX, a summer film-making academy launched in 2006. In 2016, YouthFX will become its own independent organization, offering year-round programming.
