Art in the community

Save to Favorites

MSS is a program that supports adults with disabilities. The participants in our programs have an opportunity to work with the Chicago Ave Fire Arts Center (CAFAC) in Minneapolis to participate in classes and learn different techniques involving fire and art. MSS is looking for volunteers to assist our staff and program participants during these weekly sessions. Volunteers would ideally meet at their assigned MSS location, and travel to and from with staff and program participants, but if its more convenient to meet at the CAFAC that can be an option. Volunteers are needed approximately 9-1pm during weekdays. The art schedule is below, and includes what the class is and which of our MSS sites are participating. Volunteers are welcome to attend as many different sessions as they are able!
