Application Process

All current and potential volunteers are required to complete an application that asks for basic personal information (name, address, phone number, hours of availability, special skills and emergency contact person). This application will remain on file at the center. Falsification of information, including the omissions or misrepresentations, on the application or any other required document is immediate grounds for dismissal. 

Volunteer placement at the Center for the Arts is subject to an official position offer, space availability and completion of the orientation plus additional training on assignment. Application submission does not guarantee your acceptance as a volunteer. Parental permission is required for volunteers younger than 18. The City of Carrollton requires a background check for all applicants (full-time, part-time, seasonal, internship and volunteer).
