At Cool Arts, classes are always filled with joy.
Additional Details & Skills Required
Volunteers will be provided with an orientation before starting. All materials are supplied by Cool Arts. Classes take place at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in downtown Kelowna. Parking is available nearby and the location is fully accessible. Scheduling is flexible and we are happy to accommodate volunteers’ availability.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
At Cool Arts, volunteering is about being part of something truly special. You’ll witness the joy of talented artists expressing themselves, and you’ll share in their excitement as they create and connect. Every class is a chance to build meaningful relationships, discover new perspectives, and even pick up creative tricks you can take home with you. And beyond the art, you’ll find yourself welcomed into a warm, creative community. One that often feels like a second family.
