How It Works
Volunteering with the Community Art Hub is easy!
Volunteer hosts open the Art Hub for drop-in hours, and support community use of the tools and equipment. Volunteers are free to usee the art supplies on hand while volunteering. Volunteers are invited to help coordinate one art workshop of their choosing throughout the year, so if there is an art project you want to teach or a skill you want to learn, we will facilitate that. We also offer free educational resources to volunteers including Indigenous Inclusion practices, creating accessible spaces, and non-violent communication workshops to help boost our resumes and skill bases.
1Fill out our volunteer application form
Please email us at alterartssociety@gmail.com to express your interest in volunteering and to let us know your availability during the week.
If we are onboarding volunteers at the time of contact, we will send you the next steps to become a host at our drop in art making space.
2Criminal Record Check
The next step is completing your criminal record check. To find out how to request your Criminal Record Check at no cost online, please email us at alterartssociety@gmail.com
If you have completed a Criminal Record Check for another organization recently, you can request that it be forwarded to Alter Arts Society on the same website, which is faster than requesting a new one. It will say that the request is for volunteers.
3Building Orientation
Once your criminal record check comes through, we can set up a time for you to do a building orientation with the Facilities Manager at the Quadra Village Community Centre (where the Art Hub is located).
After you complete the building orientation you will be given keys and a security code so that you can open and/or close the space when the community center is closed.

Alter Arts Society is a registered non-profit organization and community initiative by and for artists located on the traditional territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən people of the Songhees and Xwsepsum (Esquimalt) nations.
Those of us who are uninvited visitors to these territories, respectfully seek opportunities to unlearn oppressive, colonial practices that we have benefited from, and to follow the lead of the Indigenous stewards of these lands. We are committed to questioning existing power structures, supporting the decolonization of our society and institutions, and supporting Indigenous self-determination.
