Volunteer

Keshet is a thriving cultural organization in the community today because of its volunteers. They are the backbone of the organization, assisting with productions, organizing special events, selling ad space in the playbills, posting fliers around town along with many other crucial roles. It is not unusual for Keshet to have the help of over 200 volunteers putting in thousands of hours over a given year.

The following is a list of volunteer opportunities, including committees, specialized jobs and ongoing activities:

Special Events Committee

Special events help raise much needed funds for the organization. Members of this committee help Keshet staff plan annual special events including Gala on the Rocks and the Spring Concert silent auction. The Special Events Committee is a fun, creative committee with lots of energy.

For more information regarding the special events committee, please contact Wendy at wendy@keshetdance.org.

Ad Sales Committee

Each year Keshet produces a playbill for both the Spring Concert and Nutcracker on the Rocks. Members of this committee assist the staff in selling ad space in the playbill. Volunteers set their own goals based on their available time commitment. There are few meetings for this committee.

For more information regarding the ad sales committee, please contact Tanya Call at tanya@keshetdance.org or Erin Crawley-Woods at erin@keshetdance.org.

Enrollment Committee

The goal of this committee is to increase enrollment for the Studio Classes, KP3 Program, and the Mixed Ability Program. Members meet to brainstorm ideas and then implement the plans during independent time. This committee meets the first and third Wednesday of each month from 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. Meetings are at the Keshet offices, but members are welcome to call in to the meeting. The typical time commitment for this committee is three to five hours per month.
