Upbeat Arts welcomes a network of volunteers who help us in many ways, from helping with events, to preparing lunch, to assisting with providing qualified care and/or support to our members. We engage professional program leaders to run the courses that we offer, so as a volunteer you don't need to be an expert to help us.
Our volunteers should have:
Belief: That lives can be transformed through involvement in arts and culture and that everyone, whatever their background, has the right to participate in the arts
Desire to empower: Those experiencing disadvantage through the joy of outstanding arts and culture activities
Passion & Energy: Huge energy and enthusiasm and a passion for achieving excellence
Creativity: A 'harm reduction' approach focused on tapping into talent, creativity and capability
Self Awareness: A willingness to grow, learn and evolve as a person, whilst giving back to the community
Full training provided:
Before starting as a volunteer, you'll complete our online Induction Training, which will prepare you for your work with us. Upbeat Arts has developed a Handbook that will form part of the Induction Training. This provides guidelines, advice and outlines Upbeat Arts' philosophy dedicated to engaging, educating and empowering our members. You'll also learn as you go by working alongside our experienced volunteers.
