Volunteer Information

The Saskatchewan Society for Education Through Art wants to increase its support and advocacy for quality visual art education to all people in Saskatchewan. We are looking for people who are committed and dedicated to visual art education to help us ensure that wherever and whenever there is a need for visual art education the need is met.

To help us meet this ongoing and ever changing need we are looking for people who want to have an impact in visual art education and make a difference in their community. We have many different positions available and can match you with the volunteer opportunity that meets your interest and time availability.

Please contact the SSEA office for additional information on these activities and to find out how what opportunity fits for you.

Preferred time commitment would be 2 - 4 hours a week, during regular business hours.
