: Become a La Peña Volunteer!
For over 30 years La Peña has counted on volunteers. We need volunteers to help staff our programs, do grassroots publicity, participate in fundraising activities, bulk mailings, and much more. We especially need people with carpentry and electrical skills. Contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Mariola Fernández, mariola@lapena.org or at (510) 849-2568 ext. 13. Volunteers have played a vital role in the life of La Peña. Volunteers have the opportunity to experience the amazing art, culture, politics, and community of La Peña while making an important contribution. Our greatest need for volunteers is the staffing of our weekly Wednesday through Sunday evening programs. Volunteer program staffing involves setting and cleaning up for events, working in the box office, as an usher, and, occasionally, helping with technical tasks. Volunteers
Volunteers can play other roles at La Peña as well, including assisting with special projects, fundraising, publicity, office work, facilities maintenance, etc. Volunteers are a source of inspiration and ideas, and we encourage volunteers with initiative to take on special roles. The center benefits from community involvement and having donated labor keeps our center affordable to many people. Volunteer twice a month and earn free admission to all La Peña programs.
