Volunteer

Be part of the joy!


The Joshua M. Freeman Foundation Volunteer Corp is more than just service (and that's quite a lot on its own), the Corp represents community, purpose and commitment to advancing arts access for all.

Volunteering for the Foundation, through Freeman Arts or the Arts Access Initiative, is a rewarding and inspiring way to support the values, purpose and mission of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation.

We maintain an extensive volunteer program to help provide operational support for our programs. Each year, more than 250 enthusiastic volunteers contribute their time, talent and energy to provide vital support, serving more than 100,000 guests who visit Freeman Arts Pavilion, another 30,000 students who enjoy our Arts Education programs, and more through our fundraising events, Spotlight Series, Community Partner events and beyond!

Program Vision

The vision of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation Volunteer Corp is to build a sustainable, inclusive, and model volunteer program that reflects the values, vision, core purpose and mission of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation.


The impact of volunteer service is felt far and wide in our organization, and we are grateful for each volunteer and every hour donated that helps us fulfill our mission!

Volunteering at Freeman Arts Pavilion

The Grand Green:

Ushering guests to seats and supporting way-finding while folks enjoy a performance

Concessions:

Serving up savory eats, cold drinks and more at one of our 5 bars, Canteen and online ordering locations

Parking:

Provide direction to parking lots, and support the smooth arrival (and departure) of guests heading to a show

The Main Entrance:

  • Greeting folks at the gate is one of the most important parts of a concert experience - we wholeheartedly welcome all, and our volunteers are some of the first people that guests get to meet as they enter the venue
  • Ticket scanning - ahh, the satisfying "beep" of the ticket scanner! For volunteers who enjoy checking off lists and helping guests move through the gates safely, this is a great opportunity to do both
  • Chair Checkers - these volunteers work closely with the Security team, following safety protocols and making sure each guest has a smooth transition through the security checkpoint


Volunteering through Arts Education*

This group of volunteers serve the children and residents of Delmarva communities through the Arts Education program. Volunteers will represent the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation in schools and communities throughout Sussex County, DE and Worcester and Wicomico Counties, MD, and at Young Audience Series performances during the summer months. Volunteers may be greeting, interacting with students and staff, and helping artists during their shifts!

* Volunteers must complete one season at the Freeman Arts Pavilion before applying to become an Arts Education Volunteer


Student Volunteers

Student volunteers are welcome! We work with local students individually to determine the best volunteer opportunity for their needs. Please email the Volunteer Manager Londin Boots at volunteer@freemanfoundation.org if you are interested in being a student volunteer.
