ASAP, the After School Arts Program, seeks volunteers for its fall session, to assist in arts classes for 3rd through 5th graders. The program takes place at St. John’s Lutheran Church downtown (600 Sixth Avenue) and meets Thursdays, 3:30 to 5:30 for 7 weeks. Orientation is Thursday, October 13, 4:00–5:30. Total time commitment for the session is 15–17 hours.

Volunteers do NOT need prior arts expertise—only a willingness to work directly with kids. Fall studios include Beat Blast (percussion, bucket drumming, boomwhackers); Ceramics; Culinary Arts (cooking); Drawing Comics; and Poets Unleashed (spoken-word poetry jam).
