Culture Builds Community

Volunteers

Volunteerism: We Need YOU!

At this year’s Spring for the Arts annual fundraising event held May 4 at Stroudsmoor Country Inn, Executive Director Sue Randall introduced the “Laura Goss Volunteer of the Year Award.” To honor Laura and her 25 years of dedicated service to the arts council, each year, going forward, an outstanding volunteer will be recognized for his or her valuable contribution to the Pocono Arts Council and its mission to support the arts in our community.

The award will be bestowed annually to a volunteer whose dedicated service makes a significant impact over the course of a year. Criteria for evaluating the award is in development and the first recipient will be recognized at the Annual Meeting in December 2019. The winner’s name will be engraved on a plaque that will be permanently installed in the ARTSPACE Gallery.

The Pocono Arts Council is comprised of a small staff and a board of directors that depends on and is appreciative of the volunteer efforts of its members. Many volunteer opportunities exist, such as gallery sitters on weekends, helping hands at special events and festivals, auction donation team members, newsletter and communication assistants, administrative assistants, and graphic artists. We welcome your assistance!
