The lifeblood of any non-profit organization is the volunteer army that makes it run. Overlea ArtsFest is fortunate to have many talented volunteers to help us produce our festivals and workshops each year — our multi-faceted board and committee members, local Girl Scout troops, neighborhood residents who enjoy the arts, students seeking public service credits, and even some of our participating artists who wish to help build the arts community in Baltimore.
Do you need a meaningful experience credit for your professional resumé? Are you looking for a fun internship opportunity? Would you like to be part of a great organization that brings creativity to the community? We are looking for dedicated board members, resourceful committee members and excited volunteers to help us produce our events and grow our organization.
