Volunteer Opportunities
Administration
Throughout the year, different departments within the Kravis Center request ongoing or specialized short-term assistance from Volunteers. Much of this work is clerical in nature such as filing, photocopying, shredding, etc. In addition, there is always a need for people who are computer literate in data entry and word processing. Assistance is needed to keep our massive database accurate and up-to-date.
Hospitality
Hospitality Volunteers assist in many areas of the Center. Volunteers assist in all areas of Hospitality service including the Founder’s Room and the Cohen Pavilion. The Kravis Center Founder’s Room is a complimentary donor amenity room provided exclusively for those donors who have contributed at our highest level and is open for most Dreyfoos Hall performances. The Cohen Pavilion is a multilevel banquet and meeting facility that hosts community events throughout the year. Volunteers assist Kravis Center staff with many aspects of food and beverage service for these venues. Hospitality volunteers need to possess excellent customer service skills and a neat, professional appearance. Basic knowledge of alcoholic beverage service, the ability to stand for long periods of time and a degree of agility to bend, lift and stoop are also necessary for these positions. Minimum age requirement is 18 years old.
