Volunteer with us!
There are lots of ways share your knowledge & expertise to support our amazing Arts community by volunteering with Comox Valley Arts!

The form below is our basic Volunteer Profile - to help us know what you're interested in and how you'd like to join in.

PLEASE NOTE: We communicate best by EMAIL, so to volunteer with us it is very, very important that you are email-friendly! :) As we do not maintain full time office hours (nor full time staff, for that matter) this is the most efficient method we have to stay in touch and disseminate information.
