Volunteer

We wish to thank our Friends and Partners who make it possible for Discovery Arts to bring "Arts Adventures"
to children with cancer and life threatening illness while they are in the hospital receiving treatment.
Please consider becoming a Partner with us!
The Volunteer Opportunities are numerous...
Guest artists, helping in the hospitals, working a booth at events. Volunteers are also needed in our office in Orange for administrative work and to stuff envelopes, design flyers, help with fund-raising, etc. Volunteering for Discovery Arts can create lifetime friendships and rewards of immeasurable value.
We bring positive, creative, fun experiences and provide these children with a much-needed creative outlet for expression of their feelings about themselves, their illness and the world around them. It provides a welcome diversion and escape from their illness and from the very scary world of hospitals and intensive treatments. Your help is greatly needed.*

Assist the Program Coordinator when visiting hospitals during our Art Adventures
The volunteer assists the Discovery Arts staff in the implementation of the "Arts Adventures" presented to the hospitalized child. The primary function of the Discovery Arts program is to offer the arts to the children in such a way, as they are able to choose their own adventure and their degree of participation. We are there to support the health care team in offering a caring and supportive environment and to ease the stresses of hospitalization. At the same time, children discover their own creativity and imagination. We believe these tools to be important in the healing process.
