Volunteers may help in creating and maintaining museum collections by performing research, cataloging museum pieces, giving tours as a docent, and selling tickets. The Seatle Art Museum, the Wing Luke Gallery, and the Burke Museum are just a few to try. You can check the Yellow Pages for more ideas. Friends of Discovery Park, for example, works to defend the integrity of the park and create open space, quiet and tranquility. Contact the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods at 206.
Theatres provide a wealth of alternative points of view for audiences.
Live productions bring us a dimension of performance that television and movies can't compare with. Volunteer roles may include creating or finding costumes, sending out mailings, assisting crews in stage set up, ushering during performances and preparing for opening night receptions.
