Learning Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Learning at the RBS is expanding! As the oldest and largest organisation dedicated to sculpture in the UK, learning has always been central to our aims at the Society, and now even more so! Our Learning Volunteers are hands-on members of our team who encourage children at our exhibition-themed holiday workshops and assist with special one-off events.

What’s involved?
At the heart of the RBS learning programme are the convictions that through art people enrich their lives and that sculpture is a powerful agent for opening minds, releasing creativity and contributing to learning skills. Learning, as a core function of the Society, enables all sections of the community to make connections with the RBS building, membership, archive and exhibitions.
Learning Volunteers can get involved in a variety of areas:

• Prepare workshop materials
• Assist with learning administration including working on listing educational activities and updating our education contacts databases
• Set-up and pack down workshop spaces
• Support the lead artist in the delivery of activities
• Register children on arrival and departure of events
• Report any issues that arise during sessions to designated staff
• Provide a friendly welcome to visitors as they enter the RBS
• Adhere to top customer service standards ensuring all those who participate in RBS learning activities have a fantastic experience
• Approach the public to get feedback about their experience
