AWL is small and just beginning. The work ahead is real — and so is the welcome. Whether you bring time, expertise, partnership, or curiosity, we'd love to hear from you.
Set up the space, hold steady boundaries, follow the child's lead. Art Guides keep the studio safe and welcoming so creativity can take its own shape.
Sit with kids who want company. Listen without correcting. Be the steady, kind presence that lets a child trust the room.
As we incorporate and become operational, we'll begin to bring on part-time staff. We are noting these openings here so future supporters and applicants can see the shape of what we're building.
Initially handles operations and finance under board oversight. Grows the organization with care, never speed.
Designs and facilitates the open studio model. Trains volunteers in compassionate listening and child-led practice.
Coordinates volunteer scheduling, background checks, supplies, and the day-to-day of running events.
Helps us secure foundation funding so programs remain free for every family.
Once we are established, we are excited to explore partnerships and program models that meet kids where they already are.
