Volunteer with Wedgwood Drama Studio

 

Wedgwood Drama Studio runs Theater Classes, Break Camps, and Summer Camps in the Seattle area. We receive a high volume of requests each year, so priority is given to high school students earning service hours and to WDS alumni.

 

Benefits of Volunteering with WDS

  • Work alongside professional actors and teaching artists in a fun, supportive camp environment

  • Gain volunteer hours needed for high school graduation

  • Build leadership skills, share your creativity, and work outdoors in the neighborhood

  • Support young actors as they create original stories and films

 

Expectations for Volunteers

To help create a positive and safe camp experience, volunteers are expected to:

  • Stay off cell phones during camp hours

  • Be positive, encouraging, and inclusive with campers

  • Be proactive and helpful—look for ways to assist staff and support activities

  • Model good ensemble behavior by joining in games, transitions, and clean-up

  • Be attentive and engaged during playground and free-choice activities

 

What Will I Be Doing?

Volunteers assist with Break Camps or Theater in the Park Camps. Responsibilities may include:

  • Helping with camp set-up and clean-up

  • Prepping activities and art projects

  • Supporting staff during drama games, arts & crafts, and group time

  • Joining campers during playground and free-choice activities

  • Encouraging participation and modeling respectful behavior

During camp, we hope you’ll find ways to share your strengths and talents with the group. Our goal is for you to leave with new skills, leadership experience, and meaningful connections.
