Volunteer

Looking for a fun way to meet new people? Get some experience in theater, performing arts events, or customer service? Email us at volunteer@artscenterlive.org, or call us at 984-500-3747 to reach Mark Bettger mbettger@artscenterlive.org.

During our 30+ years of engaging the Carrboro and Orange County communities with arts-related programming, we have built one of the area’s most dedicated and diverse volunteer teams. We count on our volunteers to provide crucial support to our mission, often by acting as first point-of-contact for patrons and customers, staffing merchandise tables, managing and directing patrons, and providing a variety of other theater-related services. Volunteers receive great benefits like free tickets to shows, discounts on ArtSchool classes, access to cool volunteer events, and more.

Thanks so much – we couldn’t do it without you!
