Volunteers are the core of the Kirkland Arts Center. KAC welcomes volunteers of all interests and backgrounds to learn and interact with artists, educators and other volunteers in a fun, informal and educational environment.

Interns are valuable temporary employees at KAC. Each summer we offer one or more internships for college students, or recent graduates, to explore a field of interest, share skills and knowledge, and learn about the inner workings of a busy non-profit arts organization. Internships are often project focused and oriented toward a particular career path. Interning at KAC provides opportunities to gain tangible experience and make contacts with working professionals.
