Daybreak Arts is seeking enthusiastic and creative volunteers to support our brand new youth art program, Gigi's Creative Corner. Volunteers will assist Daybreak Artists teaching youth during workshops and helping lead creative activities. This is a weekly, hands-on, and ongoing volunteer opportunity to inspire young artists. Opportunities will start as soon as March 2026.
Through partnerships with schools and community organizations, Gigi’s Creative Corner provides hands-on art workshops, sustained creative opportunities, and welcoming environments where youth can explore their artistic voice, build relationships, and develop a sense of belonging. Gigi’s Creative Corner meets young people where they already are—integrating art into afterschool programs, school-based clubs, and summer experiences.
Volunteering with Gigi’s Creative Corner allows you to directly support young people as they build confidence, creativity, and meaningful connections through art—while honoring the legacy of an artist who believed deeply in sharing creativity with the next generation.
