Community Arts Foundation Seeks Board Members

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — Walnut Creek-based Community Arts Foundation seeks people interested in serving as board members who will help ensure arts education is available to everyone, regardless of financial background.

CAF board members directly impact the lives of students in Contra Costa County, providing scholarships for youth, adults and seniors at the Center for Community Arts, according to Lee Oller, who serves as co-secretary of the board.

"The need is great, with many scholarship recipients designated as extremely low-income," Oller said. "Working together, driven by our motto of 'Arts for All,' we’re dedicated to bridging this gap."

In addition to fundraising work, board members play a vital role in advocating for arts awareness and accessibility throughout the county.

CAF is currently in need of people with social media and marketing skills. Volunteer board members with expertise in fundraising or accounting, as well as those passionate about serving their community and the future of arts and culture, are also encouraged to apply.

"We encourage you to support our mission, and help us bring creativity and inspiration to our entire community," Oller said.

Prospective board members may contact CAF Development Director Cole Portocarrero at colep.caf@gmail.com.
