Whether you’re an individual, small group, or corporate team, we’re glad to have your help! Volunteers are always needed and greatly appreciated.
You’ll have a variety of ways to make at difference at Community Support Advocates and our Momentum Arts Program.
volunteer opportunities
Every First Friday of the month. Two-hour shifts available at 4:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m.
Team CSA’s Momentum Arts offers a free hands-on art activity in their space during First Friday Open Studio at Mainframe Studios. Each activity is different and requires minimal artistic skill. Assist guests in using supplies, guide them through the activity, if necessary, and help pick up. Volunteers make all the difference!
Do you have an artistic skill you would like to share with the Momentum community?
Momentum Arts would love to have you teach a class at our studio! Painting, drawing, jewelry making, and more, our artists would love to learn new skills and have new experiences with members of our community.
Momentum Arts Studio is open Wednesday-Friday within Mainframe Studios. We serve dozens of artists each week and could always use an extra set of hands! Meet Momentum artists, assist with special projects, and help us keep our studio clean and organized.
works of growth and recovery annual exhibition
We’d love your help with our biggest event of the year! “Momentum: Works of Growth and Recovery” is a juried exhibition featuring Central Iowa artists with mental illnesses and disabilities. It happens the first Friday of October each year and demonstrates the power of art to heal, connect, and inspire. The exhibition’s accessibility aspects include American Sign Language welcome video, braille programs, audio descriptions of artworks, and a virtual tour. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities such as assisting with exhibition preparations, selling T-shirts, distributing programs, soliciting donations and more.
Volunteer sign-up for this event will take place in September each year.
