Make A Difference
The McKinney Center at Booker T. Washington School is always seeking volunteers who are interested in donating their time, energy, and support to the arts in their community. Volunteering at the McKinney is a great opportunity for people who have a passion for arts to broaden their horizons and gain valuable experience by working alongside some of our region’s leading artists and arts educators. The arts program is housed in the historic Booker T. Washington School and it is a valuable icon within our community. Volunteers will have the responsibility and honor of interpreting the history of the building as well as its present and future mission.
