Volunteers assist during most performances in Jackson Hall in the areas of accessibility, coat check and greeting. They are required to attend the biannual training sessions during which they will select their volunteering preferences and availability.
HOT Volunteer Ushers work alongside trained TPAC Ushers to help students and teachers during HOT daytime performances. HOT Volunteer Ushers help seat students in an orderly manner, check bathrooms before and during intermissions, and assist TPAC Ushers as needed. HOT Volunteer Ushers stay throughout the performance.
Several fundraising and special events are held each year utilizing volunteers in registration, ushering, coat check, auction presentation, set-up, clean-up, and general customer service.
Hosts and Greeters provide food and service for receptions as well as customer service and greeting for various TPAC events.
Volunteers insert/organize direct mail initiatives at TPAC or at off-site locations around town.
Light filing, database entry, or office support for TPAC staff is carried out by the volunteer at
both the volunteer’s and TPAC staff’s convenience. Work may be done at TPAC, at the
volunteer’s home, or via email depending on type of service needed.
Personally call season ticket holders and donors to thank them for their patronage and ask their opinion of the latest performance at TPAC.
Fundraising proceeds help support TPAC education programs and the artistic mission of the organization. Fundraising includes researching prospects, compiling direct mail lists, and tele-funding. Volunteers can also hold neighborhood coffees where a representative from TPAC is available for presentations. TPAC Development staff directs each fundraising opportunity inviting volunteers to participate. Fundraising committees are organized for each event. Volunteers interested in these committees are required to spend time researching with TPAC Development staff, developing solicitation materials, and meeting with area businesses.
Vounteer Councils volunteer to help organize activities. Duties include evaluation of project, new idea development, encouraging volunteers to work, make phone calls, etc. A volunteer council helps the Volunteer Manager in continuous analysis and improvement of the volunteer program.
TPAC holds special projects when piloting a new volunteer activity. These activities can be one-time events or will be offered as ongoing activities depending upon the response of volunteers and staff.
