Thank you for your interest in volunteering with ArtWorks for Freedom's ACTION DC! Campaign. We believe in the power of art to transform and we wouldn't be able to bring our message of Human Trafficking Awareness to the people of DC without you!

There are a couple of different volunteer opportunities you can sign up for. Please feel free to sign up for more than one!

Description of Volunteer Opportunities:

Bought and Sold Exhibit Observer 10/13/17 - 10/20/17

We need people to help us provide light security for our outdoor Bought and Sold Photography exhibit in Dupont Circle.

Per our contract with the National Park Service we are required to provide security for our exhibit in Dupont Circle. All we would need you to do is hang out with the art and make sure no one is vandalizing it. If you find someone is tampering with the art in any way, all you would need to do is call 911, you are not to intervene. Time slots are broken up in hour increments, please feel free to sign up for as many hours as you wish! Have an hour for your lunch break? Enjoy your lunch outside in the circle and watch our Art!

Bought and Sold Exhibit Participant Engagement 10/13/17 - 10/20/13

We need people to help us engage passersby for our outdoor Bought and Sold Photography exhibit in Dupont Circle.

Would you like to be a little bit more involved in our outdoor exhibit? We would love for you to engage people as they stop and look at our exhibit. This can include handing out surveys, flyers, and/or talking about the art. The more people that receive the message of the art the greater the impact will be on the community! Time slots are broken up in hour increments, please feel free to sign up for as many hours as you wish!
