We’re looking for volunteers to get stuck into the colourful hubbub of Z-arts!
Z-arts is Manchester’s arts hub for children and families. We’re a charity organisation, committed to providing a supportive and inclusive experience for everyone who gets involved.
We’re also a home away from home, a playground for creativity, a melting pot for inspiration, where people of all ages have the room to explore their imagination and immerse themselves in arts and culture – and you could be a part of all this!
By volunteering here not only will you have the chance to get hands-on experience, you’ll be representing Z-arts and everything it does in the thriving cultural community of Manchester.
There are lots of different things to get involved with, from supporting our internal creative programme, assisting with schools projects, community outreach events and working hands-on alongside our young people.
This is a great opportunity to develop your existing skills and learn some new ones – let us know what you want to do, and we will make every effort to push you in the right direction.
All we ask is that you’re over 16 and are ready to get started.
If you’re interested in becoming a Z-arts volunteer or volunteering in any of our projects or activities, please email Yemi on yemi@z-arts.org
