Volunteering
Our core staff team is supported by the brilliant work of our volunteers — making our audiences feel at home, serving refreshments in the Café Bar and supporting with the smooth running of performances and events across the building.
We are so grateful to our volunteers for their time and efforts, and our audiences often remark how much they appreciate their warmth and helpfulness.
Volunteering at Aberdeen Arts Centre is a great option if you're looking to support the local performing arts scene in the north east of Scotland, meet new people and keep busy in your free time or retirement, or add to your CV. Our volunteers come from all kinds of backgrounds and levels of experience, and each of them brings their own personality to the role.
Opportunities to Volunteer
Aberdeen Arts Centre is looking for volunteers to help support Aberdeen's Independent Stage.
Our volunteers are a crucial part of our team to help us give a warm welcome to audiences, guide them to their seats, help sell ice cream in the interval and support behind the Cafe Bar before performances and during intervals, and help spread the word about upcoming shows and opportunities.
If you'd like to register your interest, fill out the form and we'll get back to you.
