Be a Part of Art: Volunteer at ACWL-Nuveen!

Are you looking for more ways to be involved in your community? Do you have an interest in or appreciation for art? The Arts Council of White Lake-Nuveen Center is looking for you!

The ACWL-Nuveen has a very small staff so we rely on loyal volunteers to pull off all the diverse programming we provide for the White Lake community. We are incredibly grateful for the time and effort our multi-generational volunteers have contributed to our organization, some of which have been with the ACWL-Nuveen since its inception 40 years ago! Our volunteers help us in so many ways: from brainstorming and executing fundraisers, to labeling envelopes, and directing traffic at busy summer concerts! We are confident we can find a good fit for your skill set. We'd love to get the year started with some new volunteer friends!

To learn more about the ways that you can volunteer please read the description of the various opportunities below. If you are interested in joining a committee or being a general events volunteer, please fill out this form. ACWL-Nuveen Director Erin Peyer will follow-up with more information after you complete the interest form.
