Be a RUHS PTSA Hands on Art Volunteer

Volunteer for Hands on Art at RUHS

We're always looking for volunteers interested in helping out — either as a Docent (teaching students & attending lesson training) or a Helper (passes out supplies, assists in clean up and set up, etc) during every project. Lessons are taught during the school day with minimal time commitment Tuesday-Friday.

This year, our docents will be teaching the following projects to RUHS students.
