We are proud to offer a Volunteer Program for people and teams from all walks of life that leads to personal and professional development through creative training and community service, and provides an opportunity to make a meaningful commitment to our shared community through award-winning programs of The Actors Theatre Workshop in NYC and around the world.
Volunteers utilize their talents and expertise in a variety of areas to make important contributions to our organization and the community. Whether you have a few hours or the ability to make an ongoing commitment to ATW, we are grateful for your service and your generous contribution of your time and unique skills!
A Note for Teams: We welcome groups to serve together, especially in areas where they have shared skills or for a one-time service opportunity that fosters team-building. It is incredibly powerful for a group that has already had experience working together—as a professional team or in other volunteering capacities—to bring that chemistry and experience to work for the organization. If you would like to apply as a team, please fill out one application, note how many team members you would like to join, and we will connect with you to discuss further!
