High School Summer Volunteers

Looking for a fun, hands-on way to spend your summer (and build your resume at the same time)? The Dayton Art Institute is inviting rising juniors and seniors to join our High School Volunteer Program!

This is your chance to step inside a real museum, work alongside arts professionals and help bring exhibitions, programs and visitor experiences to life. From supporting education activities to helping in the museum store, no two days are the same.

You’ll gain real-world experience, meet creative professionals from all kinds of backgrounds and build skills you can take with you into college and beyond!
