The Union's Cafe is now closed for summer, but you can still get everything you need over at Unit One.
Art Session Volunteer
About organisation / project
Since 1994, Mustard Tree has transformed the lives of people in Greater Manchester who are trapped in poverty or homelessness, by enabling them to gain the skills and self-confidence they need to reach their full potential.
Details Hide[-]
The purpose of class is to help clients overcome social isolation, meet new friends, find community, whilst exploring different forms of artistic expression. If you’re passionate about art, would like to make a big difference and be part of a unique community, we’d love to hear from you! You will be volunteering as part of a team, with the support of Mustard Tree staff.
We're looking for:
- Somebody to either lead or support the running of the session, depending on experience.
- Somebody with a good knowledge of different art forms.
- A kind and non-judgemental person.
- Great communication skills, and the ability to listen to others.
- Good presentation skills.
- Knowledge of poverty and homelessness/experience volunteering with people who are vulnerable would be great but is not essential!
We provide travel expenses and lunch freshly prepared on site by Mustard Tree’s training kitchen.
