Volunteer Opportunities

At the Fine and Performing Arts Center, our volunteers are the core of our facility. Volunteers welcome patrons to an evening performance or usher a group of school children to their seats, and a host of other activities. As a member of our volunteer ushers, you will join a group of dedicated and friendly staff and have a chance to be directly involved with the arts. We annually have over 75 volunteer ushers, and we welcome you to become part of our unique family.

Requirements
The essential requirements to become a Volunteer is an enthusiasm for the performing arts coupled with a willingness to serve all patrons with care and respect. Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older.

Volunteers are needed for ushering daytime school children performances, matinee or evening performances, Moraine Valley related events (including graduations), and our annual fund-raiser Starry Starry Night. Ushering positions are rotated on a regular basis and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis to provide all volunteers the same opportunities and experiences.

To become a volunteer or for more information, please contact Beth Miller, Box Office Manager, at (708) 974-5304 or via e-mail at millerb@morainevalley.edu. Written inquiries can be mailed to 9000 W. College Pkwy., Palos Hills, IL 60465-2478

Orientation and training sessions are required and are held at the Fine and Performing Arts Center the beginning of September. Special orientation times available on request.
