Visitor Reception: Greet, orient, and assist guests in the Mathis Gallery or throughout the grounds.
Program / Event Staffing: Assist paid staff in setting up / taking down any equipment (such as tables and chairs), greeting guests, answering questions, and setting up refreshments.
Villa Finale will be hosting a “Potential Volunteer Open House” on Wednesday, September 30th from 6:30pm – 7:30pm where you can meet the staff, learn more about volunteering at Villa Finale, and hear about the wonderful perks of volunteering with us!
