Centrum has a large and active volunteer program, and email is the way we keep you in touch with all the most current volunteer news and opportunities. We are careful with your email address – it will not appear in group mailings, or be shared with any other organization.
If you don’t have email, you will be contacted via the postal service or by phone.
To get in touch with us by phone, please call Claire at (360) 385-3102 x112.
Here are some of the volunteer opportunities at Centrum’s many public events. The Centrum volunteer team is made up of wonderful people who provide great customer service, and make each event safe and fun for everyone. If you’d like to join us, we’d love to have you… but remember, during these performances we are “working”, and don’t always get to see or hear the show. So pick your events and assignments with that in mind.
