☀️ Art Buddies spring 2025 volunteer opportunity 🌷

Inspire & Empower: Mentor with Art Buddies!

Just 1-2 hours a week can change a child’s life!

For 30 years, Art Buddies has paired caring adults with young students to inspire confidence, creative agency, self-expression, and joy. This spring, we’re looking for more amazing mentors—and we’d love for you to join us!

Art Buddies’ free Character Creation Program is the go-to volunteer opportunity in the Twin Cities!

Volunteers mentor a child for just an hour or two a week for eight weeks, helping them design and build a unique character—empowering them through creativity.

Would you be willing to share this opportunity with your time with a little buddy? Here are the details:
