Benefits of Volunteering with KAC
Volunteering with us can be a great way to gain experience, get involved in the arts community, meet people, and learn something new.
As a volunteer you can play a part in helping us to put the arts, in all its forms, at the heart of our community:
- At ART in the PARK, we help more artists gain exposure
- Our programs will bring our community together socially helping to build identity and pride
- Making the Kamloops area even more attractive to residents, tourists, business and investors
- And demonstrating the valuable role that the arts plays in building a healthy community.
As a volunteer for Kamloops Arts Council, you really can make a big difference.
