Volunteer Opportunities.
First of all, thank you for your interest in getting involved! We are excited to get to know you and work with you to find a healthy fit. Contact hello@seen52.org if you have questions or other inquiries.
We seek empathetic volunteers who can connect with our youth and can make curiosity and exploration exciting and important. If this calls to you, we would love for you to join our team!

In a project-based learning space, the critique and feedback of outsiders, clients, and experts is critical to a quality project. Within each 6-week project cycle, we are in need of folks who can commit to dropping by in-person or remotely to provide kind, specific, relevant feedback to students and their work in progress and during their expositions.
Commitment level: Stay on an email list, and receive a blast every month or so about critique opportunities.
-
Youth appreciate the opportunity to see firsthand the vocational options available to them. At Seen52, we love bringing in professionals or going to visit professionals in their line of work.
Commitment level:
Confirm permission to tour your workspace at least 4 weeks in advance
Provide tour (either yourself or with other coworkers)
Be available to answer questions (either yourself or with a panel of your coworkers)
Provide a space where youth can reflect (facilitated by Seen52)
Optional: provide swag / food / transportation support
-
Materials: We always welcome donations to our snacks cabinet or if you want to host a dinner! Just let us know. Also, if it’s easier, here’s an Amazon Wishlist 😊
There will be work days before programming, during breaks, before and after an exposition, where expert labor (and the presence of folks who understand aesthetics, construction, and/or have gallery/tech experience) is appreciated.
Commitment level: Stay on an email list or follow us on social media to be updated on work day or labor needs.
