Pavilion Partners hosts orientation for new volunteers on October 14

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — The Pavilion Partners, the official volunteer organization of The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, needs local volunteers with a passion for the arts. On October 14, Partners will host two orientation and training sessions at The Pavilion, beginning at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Each session will last approximately an hour and a half, allowing potential volunteers to ask questions and become well-acquainted with the organization. If you are interested in becoming an event volunteer, you must attend one of the meetings on this date. Advance reservations are required.

“This is a great opportunity to learn more about our volunteer program and how you can be involved in the events at The Pavilion,” said Leslie Williams, volunteer and special events coordinator for The Pavilion. “Even though our official season is winding down, we still have our most important program of the year, our Children’s Festival, in November. The Children’s Festival takes lots of volunteers to plan, organize and manage, so it is very important time to recruit new people to help.”

Launched in 1998, Partners is a dedicated group of volunteers who share a love for the arts. Members of this dynamic group are qualified to work all performing arts events, including educational outreach programs, and serve on various event committees.

As a Partners volunteer at performing arts events, you will be tasked with overseeing pre-concert activities such as the instrument petting zoo and arts & crafts booths, ushering and handing out programs, and assisting guests with individual needs. Volunteers are needed for all performing arts events as well as educational outreach programs such as Musical Scores, Fine Arts Education Day, and Children’s Festival. There are also a variety of additional ways you can contribute to Partners, including fundraising, scholarships, membership and more.

Join Partners to become a performing arts volunteer. Memberships start at $50 each.
