Experience with art, kids, or teaching a big plus but not completely necessary. Looking for a commitment of at least one day a week for at least one semester. First Semester is now through to December 2012 or through May 2013 for two semesters. Preferably you would work on the same day of the week each time so that kids can develop a good working relationship with you. Available times: Tuesdays: 2 classes noon-2pm
(plus some time before or after classes depending on amount of project prep needed or your flexibility) Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays: 4 classes from 9:30-2:00
(plus some time before or after classes depending on amount of project prep needed or your flexibility) Your task would be to assist the art teacher in any way that would make the art lessons run smoothly. This may include helping students focus by sitting with them and talking them through steps of the project, acting as a positive role model for behavior in class (for example by showing attentive listening, using materials properly, having fun and a positive attitude, smiling! Etc), help pass out materials, help clean up supplies, help prep materials for projects or prep student art work for display. This can be a great opportunity for those interested in teaching art or for those who enjoy the company of creative kids!

Mission Statement
ArtSeed’s mission is to connect the most resourceful and gifted with the youngest and most vulnerable citizens of the Bay Area and beyond through projects that explore links between classical and cutting-edge fine arts disciplines.

Description
[VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR IS A PRIORITY POSITION AND WILL DETERMINE ARTSEED'S CAPACITY TO ACCEPT OTHER VOLUNTEERS]
Youngsters with learning differences, financial obstacles, and/or discipline problems learn practical skills and professional habits that give form to their own unique, creative gifts. We hope in the process to encourage new inter-cultural friendships between people of all ages and from all walks of life. We do this by producing tangible and meaningful arts experiences that have a sustained impact on lives. Young people are tightly integrated into the day-to-day life of the organization, doing everything from curating shows to acting as docents, securing equipment, and meeting on boards of trustees. Students prepare their own designs, distribute publicity for, and document culminating exhibitions of their individual portfolios or larger collaborative pieces. Festive receptions give pen-pals from various classes, workshops, and private mentorships new opportunities to interact. Young artists and interns get to teach, often for the first time. Students take supplies home to continue artmaking. ArtSeed supports on-going mutual learning relationships between artists, students, and mentors from various fields.
