Join our vibrant volunteer community!

Volunteers are the heart of Whidbey Island Center for the Arts (WICA). Your time, energy, and passion for the arts help create transformative experiences in our community. Whether you're helping greet patrons at the door, working in the bar, or helping decorate for the holidays, every role is vital in bringing our mission to life. WICA enriches lives by creating powerful shared experiences in the arts. Volunteers help make this mission possible by supporting the artistic and cultural fabric of our community.

What our volunteers have to say

  • Gaynell W.

    "Volunteering at the very first Djangofest, and every one since! in between Djangofests, so much more to get involved in as a WICA volunteer. It's my fun place to be."

  • Laurie C.

    "I've really enjoyed being here. I love pretty much everything about it. I just like the programing. I like the atmosphere. It's just fun. And I love theater and I love music.

  • Michele V.

    "I signed up to volunteer for WICA before I actually arrived on the island, 9 years ago. I have loved every minute of time with WICA and have since become a board member as well. I love the staff and all the volunteers that I have worked with."
