The Orange County Children's Therapeutic ARTS Center values tremendously the work of volunteers! We welcome volunteers from high schools, community colleges, local universities, corporations, and from the community at-large. There are many opportunities for volunteers at our center. Some of these opportunities include: a) office work, b) community outreach, c) programs, d) special events, e) fundraising, f) grant writing, and others. Our After-School Arts Program is always in need of volunteers to assist our visual arts, music and dance instructors with the variety of classes that we offer the community. Additionally, every month the Center offers a Free Community Art Workshop and many families attend this monthly event. The Learning Academy program is always in need of volunteers/mentors to assist our students with their reading, writing and homework. See Programs for more information.

The Orange County Children's Therapeutic ARTS Center collaborates with a variety of universities to provide internship programs at our center. Some of these institutions include: Chapman University, California State University, Fullerton, and University of California, Irvine. Please see Intern Responsibilities (PDF file).

OCCTAC Arts Center welcomes applicants from diverse backgrounds and seeks to hire qualified staff who reflect the rich diversity of the communities we serve, including: children, youth and families of different ages, socioeconomic statuses, disabilities, races, ethnicities, religions as well as other populations. We encourage applicants with an appreciation for the arts, academics, creative therapies and community service.
