Get Involved

We are always looking for volunteers to work with our students—we believe that one-on-one attention from a caring adult is what helps students grow.  We have a lot of opportunities that take place outside of the classroom too: curriculum development, copyediting, design, illustration, event planning, and shop keeping. We are always looking for ways to collaborate with other artists and community organizations too! 

 

Volunteer opportunities

Volunteers are the heart and energy of our work. Whether you want to work directly with our students or you would prefer a behind-the-scenes, eyes-peeled-for-comma-splices job, we want to hear from you!


Make a Donation

Young Authors Greenhouse needs your help to grow! Our goal is to increase confidence and academic performance of many students through in-school projects, after-school tutoring, workshops, and field trips. Every contribution will be used in a meaningful way to support Young Authors Greenhouse and our students.

 


Thank you to the many people and organizations
