Event Assistant needed for Story Tapestries

Save to Favorites

GlobalGiving's nonprofit partner Story Tapestries needs help!

Story Tapestries designs programs that bridge gaps created by language, economy, ability level, and other social-economic factors that can create divisions between people living in the same community. The arts have the ability to bridge these gaps, and Story Tapestries artists work with communities to customize programs that create an infrastructure for lasting changes. Performances, workshops, in-school and out-of-school residencies along with community engagement events such as Family Nights are aimed to reach children, parents, teachers, and other adult mentors so that every community has a tight network of team players, armed with multi-literacy tools, that are working toward collective goals.

Since 2010, Story Tapestries has worked tirelessly to secure funds to support such transformative programs for communities that cannot afford them, but desperately want and need them. They're seeking a volunteer to attend local community events in the greater DC metro area. Events are usually 1-6 hours, approximately once a month, and are designed to engage families, sharing who they are and what they do.

Your role would be to share basic information about the work of Story Tapestries with the support of fliers and to collect feedback and contact information from individuals who might be interested in connecting with the organization on a regular basis, via their e-newsletter, blog, social media or monthly breakfast meetings. Can you help them connect with community at these special family events?

If you have the skills and would be excited to support an organization that infuses the arts into education teaching literacy and 21st century skills, send Story Tapestries an email to volunteer@storytapestries.org with your CV and a short statement (less than 200 words) about why and how you would like to assist Story Tapestries.
