CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
Volunteer at Vera to choose your own creative adventure and help us build the community that you want to be a part of today! Get involved by running shows, helping out in the silkscreen and recording studios, organizing grassroots social movements, curating gallery exhibitions, launching new programs– anything you want, really.
Take a Volunteer Orientation
During this 45–60 minute session, we’ll dive into Vera’s history, walk through all current volunteer roles, share details about membership and programming, and take a full tour of the space. You’ll also get set up with Shiftboard, where you’ll sign up for volunteer opportunities.
In-person orientations are required to be onboarded as a volunteer and take place every second Thursday and Saturday of the month at 4PM and 6PM
Private orientations may be offered on a case-by-case basis, subject to availability.
We are located @ the corner of Warren and Republican 305 Harrison Street, Seattle, WA 98109
Be sure to fill out a VERA Volunteer Application!
