Teen Volunteer Assistant Program (TVAP)

Each Summer, Tinker runs a Teen Volunteer Assistant Program for rising 9th - 12th graders. This program allows teens to volunteer in a fun and fast-paced summer camp setting. Working alongside our Front Desk Team and Studio Teachers, teens will gain experience supporting the backend workings of a busy art studio, and supporting children in a summer camp setting.

For any school year volunteer opportunities, please reach out directly to admin@tinkerartstudio.com to inquire.
