Art in the Park 2021 Summer Volunteer
This summer, the National Parks of Boston will be hosting an Art In The Park Program: Inspired By The Parks ! Starting Thursday, July 22, 2021, there will be an Art Cart, with craft and art supplies for public use. Visitors will have the chance to participate in a community art project, make postcards, create art inspired by the parks, and/or color coloring pages. The carts will run weekly throughout the season, Wednesdays at Bunker Hill in Charlestown, Thursdays at the Boston Harbor Island Welcome Center Downtown and Fridays at the Charlestown Navy Yard (Attached below is the calendar and time for the art carts). NBP is recruiting 5-10 volunteers ages 15-25 to work with the Art Carts this summer and earn community service hours!

Precautions:
The park wants to ensure that our volunteers feel safe in returning or joining the parks. Some actions to mitigate risks will be:
Heat:
A pop up tent. With the high temperatures, we want to ensure staff, volunteers, and visitors stay cool.
Covid-19:
Outside
Visitors will have clipboards and will spread out while creating their art to prevent crowding
Visitors will be able to keep any of the supplies that cannot be sanitized. The supplies that can be sanitized will be dropped off in a box for us to spray down at the end of the event.
