MISSA takes place at Pearson College, just outside of Victoria, on scenic Pedder Bay, in Metchosin. The program was established in 1984 by Robin Hopper, Carole Sabiston, Cheryl Samuel, Flemming Jorgensen, and Rona Murray.

We are looking for volunteer studio techs to support our teachers and students during the program, and to help with set up and tear down. We will begin setting up July 16, 2026 and tear down July 31-August 1, 2026.

Volunteers need to have experience with the material processes that are part of our programing. We need you to stay on site in our dorm accommodations or live/stay within easy driving distance of Pearson College. You must have the ability to lift 35-50lbs (clay and equipment is heavy!). We are looking for volunteers with a positive, polite, mature, helpful attitude/personality that will help our students feel welcome, inspired and relaxed about learning and creating at MISSA. During onsite check-in for the students we will need extra helpers to assist students to their rooms. Some students may have mobility issues and require extra help with luggage.

As a volunteer you can to stay on campus in shared accommodations (sharing a room with others volunteer), enjoy 3 meals/day in our dining hall, and be apart of the magic that makes MISSA so special!

The campus has dorms, classrooms, a dining hall, library, presentation theatre, and social spaces that are connected by gravel paths. There are hills and curves it is not a series of flat surfaces to negotiate. There are limited parking spaces available, so if you are able to make arrangements to be dropped off that would be ideal. The dorm accomodations have shared bathrooms with stalls for toilets and showers.
