Community Resources

Marketing is the area most in need of helpers!  The work is recurring, but can often be completed in advance. We are looking for a pool of people who can learn a few different tasks and share the load.  We will train you in new skills that translate into other jobs.

• Building and send weekly emails with MailChimp
• Managing Arcade's Facebook Account
• Managing Arcade's Instagram Account
• Launching Arcade on Tiktok
• Post show information onto the website
• Process show video for producer and marketing use
• Organize volunteer photographers for shows
• Edit submitted photos for use in social, web, & email
• Design graphics for social media and other Arcade use
• Write press releases
• Hang posters around the city

Currently, most of Arcade's fundraising efforts happen in the last few months of the year.  We are looking for people to help to coordinate these efforts as well as people who will be peer fundraisers.

• GiveBig Committee [project management, design, communications efforts]
• GiveBig Peer Fundraisers
• End of Year Thanking Campaign help
• Researching potential grant opportunities
• Planning fundraiser events or shows
• Building a donor database

The Arcade Academy is many people's first introduction to Arcade, so we love to make sure new students feel welcomed to class at the start of the session and to the community at the end of the session.  To that end, we could use volunteers to help at the start and end of each session to

• Sign In Students on the first night of class from 6-7 pm
• Host the Class Show Receptions during class show week

We love to host events that connect everyone in our community.  If you are interested in planning or supporting these efforts, let us know!

• Community Night (movie night, board games, etc)
• Special Community Events (holiday get-togethers, anniversary parties, etc)

The various programs at Arcade that provide unique opportunities for artists to grow require committed leaders to handle their administration.  Several programs are already volunteer-led (Sketch Lab, Stand-Up Lab, Arcade Cabaret, Under the Radar) but there are some current and future opportunities that we are looking for individuals or teams to lead.  These roles are not available by sign-up alone, but anyone who is interested will have the opportunity to interview for the roles with the corresponding staff person.  These positions are unpaid, but may provide access to other opportunities.

• Volunteer Coordinator
• House Team Coordinator
• Group Sales Coordinator
• Private Events Coordinator
• Workshop Coordinator
• Board Member

If you'd like to help with something at Arcade every once in a while, but don't want to commit to a recurring commitment, we understand and we still want your help!  Below are one-off volunteer needs that you can consider:

• Working the box office or ushering for a show
• Helping with a painting or cleaning project at Arcade
• Setting up or Cleaning up big events
• Staffing a table to represent Arcade at a community event
