Volunteers are essential to the operation of Maui Arts & Cultural Center. Not only does
their work contribute to patron safety and enjoyment of the performances but also
enhances the bottom-line of our nonprofit organization, allowing us to offer affordable
ticket pricing and free events for the community.
Hundreds of volunteers help the MACC in a variety of areas, including: Arts Education,
Exhibits, Development, Marketing, Administration, Operations and Special Events.

classrooms and guide students from one session to the next.

guests and tracking attendance in Schaefer International Gallery. A volunteer walk-
through is held at the opening of each exhibit to acquaint you with the exhibit.

For volunteers who enjoy clerical work and attention to detail. Periodic group
mailings to
members are a significant part of the Development Dept. Our mailing team works
together sorting, folding, stuffing and sealing envelopes.
Marketing/Administration
For volunteers who enjoy clerical work and attention to detail. From time to
time, help is needed with various office tasks such as data entry, collating printed
material and counting. Computer skills are a plus.
For volunteers who enjoy answering phones and helping patrons. Volunteers are
needed for office reception duties. MACC’s administrative office is open Monday -
Friday, between 9am and 5pm. Shifts are divided between morning and afternoon.
Operations
Volunteers of all ages are welcome at the MACC!
For MACC performances, volunteer ushers play a very large role in the patron
experience. The major responsibility of our ushers is the safety and enjoyment of the
patrons. With this in mind, ushers must possess a friendly personality, enjoy meeting
people, able to climb stairs and hold doors open, move quickly if needed and have good
vision in limited lighting. A three-hour orientation session is required to become an
usher.
Special Events
Dozens of volunteers are needed to work at outdoor concerts and special events. Duties
include: scrip selling, ticket taking, aisle monitors, audience and scrip counters, and
silent auction attendants, to name a few.
Volunteer Recognition
To show our appreciation for our many loyal volunteers, MACC management and staff
produce an annual event in their honor, giving volunteers the opportunity to be a guest
for an evening filled with food, fun and music. At this party, volunteers are recognized
for various achievements and milestones and awarded prizes.
