Join ArtCorps and volunteer your creative talents to strengthen sustainable development in Central America. Our artists use murals, theater, stories, puppetry and other creative techniques to educate and inspire people to participate actively in improving their communities. Every ArtCorps artist works directly with a local organization, training both community members and organization staff in our field-tested Art for Social Action methodology. Through participatory art, artists strengthen dialogue between community members and the organization, improve community education and empower local leadership. Partners include organizations such as Wildlife Conservation Society, World Neighbors and Ecologic Development Fund. Spanish fluency is required. Visit our website to learn more!
