During the COVID-19 pandemic, Free Arts has continued to transform children’s trauma to resilience through the arts throughout this difficult time by supporting those that have offered their time and resources from a distance. As we eagerly anticipate things returning to in-person capacity, you can be a part of that transformation by participating in some new, innovative activities from home!

Free Arts is excited to offer volunteer opportunities for individual volunteers and corporate groups that can be completed in the comfort of your own home!  These projects include: Affirmation Cards, Magazine Clippings, Bravery Bracelets, and Art Room Maintenance.

Affirmation Cards

Volunteers may also create affirmation cards using the instructions here and send them to the Free Arts office. We include these in all of our regular programs in addition to some of our special projects, so we can always use more!

Magazine Clippings

Another helpful activity is cutting out magazines into smaller pieces for collages. This allows children more time to focus on their art activities and spend quality time with their mentors. If you are interested in this activity, instructions can be found here. After completing your collage cutouts, please send them to our Free Arts office.

Art Room Maintenance

Our art room needs some TLC! If you are interested in reorganizing supplies, testing markers, sharpening pencils, or other art room tasks, reach out to programs@freeartsaz.org to get started. Maintaining supplies is important for children to successfully make art and can be done from home by checking out a bin from the Free Arts office.

Art Supply Donations

You can help from afar by refreshing our supply of art materials used by children in resilience building art activities checking out our Free Arts wish list or Bravery Box wish list. You can send these items to our office at 352 E. Camelback Road, Suite 100, Phoenix, AZ 85012. Please include a note with your name and contact information.

Bravery Bracelets Announcement

Thank you for your interest in volunteering remotely for our Bravery Bracelet project! We completed this project in September 2021 and included Bravery Bracelets in 4,000 Bravery Box art kits that were distributed to children throughout Maricopa County and Prescott. Since this project is complete, we are no longer in need of bracelet packets. If you would still like to help the children we serve, please consider making affirmation cards listed above.
