volunteering at CAW

Community Arts Workshop was actually set up as a voluntary organisation back in 1998. If it were not for the hard work and dedication of the original volunteers who set up the project, we would not be here today.

Volunteering at CAW is all about getting stuck in to whatever activities it means to make community arts accessible and work for everyone in the community. You need a sense of humour and an interest in our work to get the most out of us, in turn there are many benefits to volunteering with us:

• Completely informal unique environment: We operate out of the Community Gallery, with studio and film suites and an open public office.
  
  
• Training and Development: We provide in house training in specific art areas and have access to many more in the arts field, as well as access to training in non- art based areas such as computer courses and management training.
  
  
• Access to a Community Network: By volunteering at CAW, you will be part of a wider community network of other community and voluntary groups in the Leamington and surrounding area who provide a wealth of expertise, opportunities and experience in the field of voluntary and community work.
  
  
• C.V. Stardom: By volunteering at CAW you will have worthwhile and participative experience that can enhance and develop your existing skills and abilities making for a better C.V. Many of our volunteers go on to paid work in the voluntary and community sector in the area, all because of the experience and skills they have gained with us.
  
  

There are many volunteering opportunities at CAW from Project based activity such as painting community murals to editing films, to helping us with managing our finances and co-ordinating meetings. There have even been volunteers who have helped us co-ordinate volunteers!

Whatever your interest, if you feel that you would like to learn more about art, community or development work, and would like to put something back into the community or help others, then please call Francis Godwin on 01926 888333.
