Volunteer: Spring, Summer, and Fall opportunities to work outside!

In the interest of keeping all of our residents safe, we are currently limiting volunteers to outdoor projects. 

In warm weather, we welcome individuals and groups interested in helping to maintain our flower and vegetable gardens, and  other outdoor maintenance tasks here at our founding location in Enfield, New Hampshire.  You can come for a day, a few hours, or set up a regular schedule.

We ask that all volunteers wear masks and adhere to social distancing protocol, use hand sanitizer, and fill out a brief health and travel questionnaire which includes a touch-free temperature check. While you are on site, we will designate an entrance to the main house for access to a restroom, as needed.   

Additional detail:

Visions for Creative Housing Solutions' founding location is on a beautiful, rural 80 acre property at Sunrise Farm in Enfield, New Hampshire, where our organization supports adults with developmental disabilities who live in shared or individual apartments and two shared houses.  Residents have busy schedules that include work, volunteering themselves, and a range of community activities so they are often off-site.

We welcome volunteers who enjoy working outdoors to help weed gardens, rake leaves, plant flowers, and assist with other outdoor tasks.  There is almost always something to do and we welcome your help whether you come for a day or establish a regular schedule. 

Volunteers scheduled for more than one-day special projects are asked to complete forms so we can run a background check, in support of our efforts to ensure a safe environment for all.

Volunteer: Willing Hands Garden Volunteer, Upper Valley

Garden with us! Gardens grow food for neighbors experiencing food insecurity in East Thetford, VT, Norwich, VT, and/or Lebanon, NH.

For more than 15 years, volunteers have been growing organic vegetables at our main Willing Hands Garden, hosted by Cedar Circle Farm in East Thetford, VT. We meet regularly throughout the growing season to do any and all tasks required to grow amazing produce for those struggling to put enough food on the table. We plant, weed (and weed some more!), fertilize, harvest, wash, and crate thousands of pounds of vegetables. Over the past several years, we have increased the acreage (now at multiple sites!), productivity, and variety of produce we grow—from the ordinary (peas and carrots) to slightly more exotic (ground cherries and watermelon). We provide all the necessary training and tools but frequently volunteers bring their own favorite work gloves, along with water to drink.

Our regular work sessions are: Tuesday mornings 9:00-11:00 am, Thursday afternoons 4:00-6:00 pm, and Saturdays from 9:00 am-11:00 am at our garden in East Thetford, VT.; Tuesday afternoons 4:00-6:00 pm at our garden in Norwich, VT; and Wednesday afternoons, 4:00-6:00 pm at our garden in Hanover, NH. We work (light) rain or shine, just not when it is pouring rain or thundering. We call or email if a work session is cancelled due to weather. Volunteers come when they are available, even if it is only occasionally; there are no commitment requirements, but we know you’ll have a great time with this group! To learn more, email volunteer@willinghands.org or go to our website to register as a volunteer and receive our weekly updates about our schedule of opportunities to grow food for our neighbors experiencing food insecurity!

Volunteer: Volunteer Opportunity: Grounds Committee Member, Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum


·      Like being outside more than being on Zoom

·      Think pulling invasive plants is oddly satisfying

·      Have mowing experience

·      Want to help a one-of-a-kind museum stay beautiful and welcoming

The work is rewarding and varied: improving paths through our beloved Medicine Woods (in fact, we’re going to build a new Accessible Trail this year), caring for our 60-species Arboretum, planting native greenery, and keeping nature from going too “wild kingdom.”

Have pruning shears or a chainsaw? You’ll be our hero.
No equipment but willing hands and good humor? Also heroic.

We mostly get our hands dirty between April and October, but we do sneak in a few planning meetings during the colder months (preferably indoors and near snacks). Whether you can pitch in regularly or just now and then, we’d love to have you on the team.

To learn more, visit indianmuseum.org.
To volunteer, email info@indianmuseum.org or call our office at 603-456-2600

Come join the fun. Get some sun. Maybe meet a frog.
Help us keep MKIM looking great—one weed at a time.

BACKSTAGE POSITIONS

 

Set Building:

 

You don’t need to be an experienced carpenter to help with set building (although we welcome you if you are!). Our Lead Carpenters and experienced builders will teach you and guide you in tasks appropriate for your skill level.  It is also a great way to learn and practice a new skill and get to see your work in the final production. Some sets are realistic interiors that look just like a room in someone’s home and others are unit sets with many pieces that move in and out.  This is a fun and challenging way to be a part of a production. Set building takes place at a variety of times so you can probably find sessions that work with your schedule. Keep an eye out for an upcoming Power Tool Workshop where you can get concentrated instruction.

 

Set Painting:

 

You don’t need to be an artist/painter, or to be gifted (although there are lots of opportunities for specialized art work if you are an artist).  Much of the scene painting we do at The Players consists of base-coating, solid color painting, and easily painted specialty pieces that require only patience and the love of moving a paintbrush.  Again, our Lead Painters will be at every session to guide you in tasks and techniques.  Scene painting is great fun and even if you have never done it before, you’ll be able to learn techniques that will have you painting like Rembrandt.  Painting sessions are at varying times so you cand pick and choose those that work with your schedule.  There’s nothing like seeing your hard work under stage lights!

 

Set Dressing:

 

Do you love yard sales and antique shops?  Do you love decorating would you like to have access to a budget and a whole warehouse floor full of interesting objects?  Do you have an eye for where to hang pictures, where to put artificial plants, which curtains work best with the design of the room?  If this sounds like you, you will love set dressing.  Working with the designer you will bring the set to life by adding all the finishing touches.  You’ll also be working side by side with the Properties Designer, always a fun collaboration.  You’ll do a lot of your work later in the production calendar, once the set is finished, so it’s often a whirlwind of hunting, shopping, hanging, and excitement as you move things into the Audi during the last week or two (for musicals) and bring the set detail to life.

 

Props Manager and Props Assistant

 

Such a simple title for a very challenging and rewarding job.  The props manager makes a list of properties needed for the show using the script.  They then work with the director on additions and deletions. You will be finding, buying, or pulling from our extensive prop collection all the things that the actors handle during a play. A love of yard sales, thrift shops, crafts and collecting makes you a perfect candidate!  Sometimes you will work in collaboration with the set dresser as well.  Each play has different prop requirements—Our Town has about six props and Not A Word had more than 50. In addition to getting the props ready the Prop Manager attends rehearsals (later in the rehearsal period, usually) and all performances to work backstage with props assistants and the stage manager to be sure all items are in the correct spot and ready for actors.  Note: The Players are very aware of and careful for prop safety, following strict guidelines for prop firearms, knives, swords, etc.

 

Costume Designer, Costume Assistants, Wardrobe Manager

 

If you love working with people and clothing you might find your theatre home on the second floor of the Players’ Studio, where you will find one of the largest collections of costumes in the state.  What we don’t have in stock we build or borrow and every show needs lots of help with costumes.  If you have any training or experience with costume design, we need you now! If you are interested in learning we can pair you with our experienced designers on a few shows until you feel ready to design on your own.

If you like to sew or have always wanted to learn, we also need you now.  Costumes need to be altered, mended or modified. Bring your skills to the costume assistant position.

And maybe you love costumes but don’t want to design or sew!  We need you to work on wardrobe, which is the packing, transporting, organizing at the theatre, being a backstage dresser and helping actors with costume changes, collecting, laundering, and returning of all costumes used in a show.  Don’t worry if this sounds like a lot—you’ll have plenty of help.  Wardrobe work is a great way to be backstage during a show and to be a vital part of the action.  Most of your commitments as wardrobe manager will be during the last few weeks of production and immediately following the show.

 

Run Crew

 

Are you calm under pressure?  Do you love order and organization? Do you look good in black and a headset?  Our run crews perform set and prop changes under the direction of the Technical Director and Stage Manager.  You will often work with a stagehand script, a detailed list of all the changes and who does what and when. The run crew for 39 Steps last season even got a curtain call because they did so much in full view of the audience.  This is a great opportunity to be an integral part of a play if you don’t want to act.  You will need to be at rehearsals later in the rehearsal period and for all rehearsals once the show has moved to the Audi.

 

Load-In and Strike Crew

 

It takes a village to get our shows from the Studio to the City Auditorium.  Sometimes it means taking an entire set apart and loading it, along with props, costumes, lighting and sound equipment on a truck, moving it downtown, unloading it and reassembling it on the Audi stage.  It is a brief but intense experience with lots of camaraderie and a delicious lunch served by Players cooks and bakers.  Then, at the end of the show, it all has to be done in reverse…when the actors and run crews are tired and very much in need of your help.  The cast and crew are required to do this job but would welcome you to join them for either or both.

 

 

Marketing and Publicity

 

We have a committee for Marketing and Publicity that could really use your help with everything from graphic design to poster runs. For instance, we need a “Volunteer With the Players” brochure designed as soon as possible!  If you are an experienced graphic design person you will find lots of fun, quirky, and challenging projects waiting for you.  If you just want to help with logistics, if you like to write newsletter entries and copy, if you want to help communicate with print and TV media, help design our show programs, posters, and other publicity we need you.  This work can often be done entirely on your schedule and, again, if you want to learn we have lots of experienced professionals to help you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Box Office

 

Help out with all ticket related tasks from managing season subscriptions to taking tickets (paper or electronic) at the door.  Our Box Office committee members will train you on the software and other procedures.  This is a great way to meet the public and will challenge and reward you. Some work required across the season and at performances.

 

Shop and Paint Shop Maintenance and Studio Maintenance

 

If you have already had your Studio tour you have seen how well organized and maintained the shop, paint shop, scenery docks, prop and costume storage, library, sound equipment storage, kitchen, bathrooms and rehearsal areas are.  If only this happened by magic!  But it takes many people who are good organizers and meticulous cleaners. (Remember, it’s always more fun to clean someone else’s house!). These spaces are used constantly by people who are so busy building, painting, sewing, and other show-related tasks that they don’t always have time to keep these spaces like they should be.  Once each year there is a Studio clean-up day, which involves many people, but we need help throughout the rest of the year.  You can make your own schedule and get plenty of advice and guidance from experienced Players. It’s not a glamorous job but you will be held in highest esteem and can feel proud of your work every time you come into our beautiful space.

 

Workshop Assistant/Administrator

 

The Players offer training workshops—single events—throughout the year and workshop leaders sometimes need help with registration, confirmation, or logistics for those workshops before and on the day of.  If you help out you get to attend the workshop for free!  This isn’t a huge time requirement but it can make a big difference for the instructor and it’s a great chance to get to know people.

 

 

 

Social Events Planning/Set-up/Clean-up

 

One of the best things about being involved with the Community Players is the frequent opportunities to engage socially.  Each show has a company party and there are often other opportunities to share a meal together at the Studio including the Annual Meeting.  We always need help planning pot luck dinners, shopping for supplies, setting up, and cleaning up, and, of course, enjoying the social time.

 

Lead and Assistant Producers

 

Even if you’re not a CEO or head of a big organization (although we welcome all levels of experience) we need your help producing our shows.  It is work that goes largely unrecognized by the outside world—we LOVE our producers within the Players family—but without which there would be no productions. Lead Producers go through one of our periodic Producer Training workshops, which are open to anyone.  This is a great way to learn about all the hard work behind the magic you see on stage.  Our producers do a variety of administrative tasks involving helping to staff the show, scheduling, communication, planning, coordinating and working closely with the director, Players’ president/board of directors and designers.  It is a great challenge and extremely rewarding.  Assistant producers are also encouraged to attend producer training as they help out with all aspects of producing under the guidance of the lead producer. Producers use our detailed Producers’ Manual, which contains detailed lists of all the necessary tasks.

 

Stage Manager and Assistant Stage Manager

 

You probably have/had a job or career or manage/managed a family and as such have the basic skill set required to be a Stage Manager.  You will just need to attend one of our Stage Manager training workshops or work first under the guidance of an experienced Stage Manager. The Stage Manager is in charge of everything that happens behind the curtain.  And that’s a lot.  You will work closely with the director to prepare the rehearsal space, run rehearsals, take blocking, coordinate light, sound, and set change cues with the designers, support actors, supervise load out and load in, manage strike and call the show, among many other duties.  It’s like being an air traffic controller only with people instead of planes.  And it is as much fun as it is challenging, especially if you enjoy big-picture management.  The Assistant Stage Manager works closely with the SM and it is a good place to gain experience if you want to Stage Manage.  The Players has a small stable of excellent Stage Managers but they get tired and would welcome some new members of this elite group.

 

Ushers

 

Come to a brief training, work with some wonderful people, greet and assist the public, and get to see a show for free.  We always need ushers!

 

 

 

House Managers

 

Just as the Stage Manager is responsible for everything that happens behind the curtain, you are responsible for everything that happens in front of the curtain. Among other things, you will open and close the theatre building, supervise ushers, handle emergencies, assist patrons with special needs, manage intermissions, assure cleanliness of the lobby and restrooms, and serve as an ambassador for the Players.  You will have access to preparation and training by our experienced House Managers.  Again, if you like to be in charge or if you’re a natural manager, this is a fun job.  Your commitment is limited to show nights after you have been trained.

 

Lighting, Set, and Sound Designers

 

In these key design positions, you will design and install lighting, scenery, and sound. These are specialized positions that require some basic training but if you have an interest, the experienced designers at the Players will mentor you and support you as you learn and try your skills. If you are an experienced designer or technician, we need you now!

 

Light and Sound Board Operators

 

These are highly technical positions that receive a small stipend.  You may need to be specially trained and certified on the Audi boards, or receive special training on Players’ equipment.  Anyone with past experience running lights and/or sound can shorten the training process and we are willing to train anyone with an interest.  Lights and sound are characters in any show and we need the highest quality work from our operators.  Want a good challenge?  This is it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

VOLUNTEER FOR A COMMITTEE (Chair or Member)

 

 

Our standing committees work year-round and are critical to our work.  Committee Chair’s terms run from July 1 to June 30, but committee members can be added at any time.  Would you be interested in chairing a committee or serving as a member?  Check out this list of committees and contact us to learn more.

These are specialized positions that require some basic training but if you have an interest, the experienced designers at the Players will mentor you and support you as you learn and try your skills. If you are an experienced designer or technician, we need you now!

 

Light and Sound Board Operators

 

These are highly technical positions that receive a small stipend.  You may need to be specially trained and certified on the Audi boards, or receive special training on Players’ equipment.  Anyone with past experience running lights and/or sound can shorten the training process and we are willing to train anyone with an interest.  Lights and sound are characters in any show and we need the highest quality work from our operators.  Want a good challenge?  This is it!

All volunteers are asked to complete an application process that involves reference checks.
