CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

Volunteering is a great way to go behind the scenes, develop new skills, meet new people, help the community and have fun!


MICA currently has openings for coordinator and docent roles. We expect our volunteers to perform their duties efficiently, demonstrate commitment to the MICA objective: create an experience so that the general public will be interested in coming back next year, HAVE FUN, SMILE and BE COURTEOUS. 

 

As a volunteer, you are an ambassador for MICA.
Visit the Volunteer tab to sign up!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
