Fuel Our Fires!
Volunteering at CAFAC
CAFAC needs you! We are a volunteer-founded and -driven organization, and are always looking for creative, motivated, and committed individuals to help us stoke the fire. Volunteer for a regular shift or whatever fits your schedule. You can also join us for our monthly Volunteer Day, when we gather a group to tackle projects together and share snacks potluck-style!
Current Volunteer Opportunities
Monthly Volunteer Days
Every month, we spend a few hours working on various shop tasks to keep everything running smoothly. Find the next upcoming dates at the sign-up form here, and let us know if you plan on coming. We’ll also share some potluck-style snacks, so bring some to share if you’re able!

We have a wide range of volunteer opportunities that we can fit to your skills and interests:
Building and Shop Maintenance
Many people use our facility, tools, and equipment, so there is always a to-do list of repair and maintenance items.
Clerical and Administrative
We need help with the behind-the-scenes details that keep our office and work spaces running like a top.
Gallery
The gallery is our face to the street and we like it to glow. We can use the assistance of folks with experience in retail sales, customer service, product photography. A skilled team helps us keep the gallery open on a regular schedule.
Housekeeping
It's a fire arts center, so the place gets a little gritty unless we stay on top of it. We love our gorgeous building, so join us as we whistle while we work... sweep, mop, dust...
Marketing and Events
Help us spread the the word! We would love assistance in social media, event planning, fundraising, creative writing, promotions, photography, catering and anything else you can think of that will help us share CAFAC with the community!
Special Projects
At CAFAC we develop and manage public art projects, which means there's an ever-changing to-do list based on what's in the hopper. It's fulfilling, enjoyable, and hands-on work ideal for those of you with fabrication and other technical skills.

Stokers
The small-but-mighty Stoker team at CAFAC is critical to keeping the shop running smoothly. Stokers are a specially-trained group of volunteers who commit to a weekly shift helping out in the shop in exchange for access to personal work. We often hire Stokers for fabrication and installation work on our public art projects. Get in touch with our Volunteer Coordinator for more information about the Stoker team.
