ECPA volunteers play an integral role in bringing our events to life!  Contribute alongside friends, neighbors, leaders your community, and lovers of the performing arts to make a difference.

Who are our Volunteers?

You!

Our volunteers are students, seniors, professionals, parents, and anyone who wants to give back, make connections, and support the performing arts. No special background or experience is needed. If you care about creativity and community, there’s a place for you at ECPA.

Benefits of Volunteering:

• Be part of building a cultural legacy for Elmhurst and DuPage County
• Meet artists, patrons, and fellow volunteers
• Earn service hours (we happily verify them for students)
• Learn new skills or lend your expertise in areas like events, outreach, or administration
• Help shape the future of performing arts in your community

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What do ECPA volunteers do?

Volunteers support events, assist with check-in and hospitality, help with community outreach, and provide support behind the scenes. If you have a special skill or interest, like IT, communications, or organization, we’ll find a meaningful way for you to contribute. We even need a volunteer to help coordinate other volunteers.

What is the time committment?

We’d love to find a few dedicated volunteers who can give 2 hours, twice a week, especially those interested in taking on a specific role like volunteer coordinator, project manager, or office support. But we also know life is busy. You can help out per event, pitch in on special projects, or volunteer seasonally when it works for you. Every bit makes a difference.

How do I sign up with a company or my organization?

Group and corporate volunteer opportunities are welcome. Email us to get started: [email protected].

Must I be 18 to volunteer?

If you’re old enough to care and young enough to care a lot, we’d love to have you. Most of our volunteers are 18 or older, but younger volunteers are welcome too, we just ask for parental permission.
