Volunteer

The Kate Volunteer Guild provides volunteer hours to several aspects of the Cultural Arts Center. Volunteer Guild Members are also ambassadors for the Center and its programming throughout the community and the region. On average, volunteers donate a total of over 10,000 hours to the Center each year in a variety of different areas. Being a volunteer at the Kate puts you in the center of the action, allows you to attend shows, but more importantly allows you to give back to the community.
