Impression 5 is currently at capacity for volunteers. We will be processing any new volunteer applications in early June, and training will be scheduled in June for seasonal summer volunteers and year-long volunteers. We look forward to connecting with you soon, and thank you for your interest in volunteering!
Your heart is big, and you have awesome skills. We know you do. When you feel like sharing them, let us know! With over 29,000 square feet of exhibit space, plus a rigorous “behind-the-scenes” operation, your help is always welcome and always valued.
