Have some fun! Volunteer!

Volunteering at Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center is a great way to get involved and help your local community! It takes many hands to put on an event at SMPAC, thus we rely on our volunteers throughout the season. From set up, tear down, and beverage service, to directing cars and ushering audience members, our volunteers play an integral role in SMPAC’s success. 

Ready to join our team of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers? Please see our volunteer application below and let us “serve together.”
