There are numerous opportunities to volunteer with the OMA program, whether you want to help teach music or dance in the schools, work in the office, or help at events.

The Active Volunteers For The Arts (AVA) coordinates OMA's volunteers. As a volunteer with AVA, you'll have the opportunity to work with volunteers and staff members of the TUSD Fine & Performing Arts department in a variety of exciting programs. Studies show that students who are exposed to these programs have achieved significantly better grades in all subject areas. Join AVA and you will enrich your life while actively supporting and engaging students in all subjects through the arts.

There are many projects and jobs that need the help of volunteers like you and we can offer you times that will best fit your busy schedule. If you’re interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities, call us at 520-577-6646.

AVA Volunteer Creates Artwork for OMA
Gus Hulkower, talented local artist, OMA Foundation Advisory Board Member and Active Volunteers for the Arts (AVA) member is currently designing, producing and donating to the OMA Foundation a 40”x72” decoupage depicting the history and activities of the OMA Program. Hulkower has produced decoupages for businesses, industries and individuals for the past four decades that have sold for thousands of dollars. When completed next fall, the decoupage will be auctioned at an OMA fundraising event. Hulkower says his belief in and passion for the OMA Program – and everyone associated with it – led him to offer to create a piece for OMA. 
Gus works in layers using images on photographic paper. Regular paper won't stand up to his decoupage process. Gus gave us a sneak peek at the first layer of the decoupage, made with images of the materials available to teachers through Educational Materials Center and Fine and Performing Arts.
