Volunteer: Art in the Park
📋 Role Overview & Responsibilities
About Us
The Empowerment Factory (TEF) is dedicated to giving children the skills they need to lead happier, healthier lives. We focus on three areas of development creativity, self-esteem, and civic pride. The Creative Squad programs blend hands-on activities with social emotional learning (SEL) and environmental education. Our vision is for every child to develop the confidence and ability to express themselves, while becoming actively engaged in their communities. Every child should feel that they matter and can make a difference in the world around them.
The Empowerment Factory offers programs and special events for schools, after school, organizations, libraries and youth groups that help children develop the skills they need to succeed.
It was founded by Gail Ahlers, as a nonprofit organization in April of 2014 and became a federally recognized 501(c)3 as of August 2016. Our blended learning model has positively impacted over 3700 urban youth with the creation of 34 after-school clubs and 13 summer programs, 90 percent of whom live in under-served communities.
We welcome your involvement and support. You can give your resources, volunteer your time and advocate as we work together to build a better world.
The Empowerment Factory is looking for volunteers who can help at our Art in the Park family workshops.
These are 1 hour events for kids in grades K-5 and their families.
Volunteers will be expected to arrive an hour early for set up and stay half an hour after for breakdown. During the event, volunteers will be needed to assist with the various children’s art activities. Volunteers will also be needed to assist at our check in table, where families will stop to check in and collect their program materials.
