Opportunity Name:
Community Art Studio Volunteer

Description:

OVERVIEW  


The Community Art Studio, a program of Early Childhood at Manny Cantor Center is a community resource that houses a collection of “found” materials, gathered and donated by New York City residents and businesses. These materials are objects from our everyday lives that are often discarded but could be re-purposed or transformed into something new, encouraging creativity, problem solving, and action. We believe that these materials can enhance and enrich children’s learning, creative expression, and symbolic development.  We are currently looking for volunteers to help us organize and sort materials!
