Volunteer Opportunities
The Pa’Volar Performance Program produces spectacular student aerial theatre and circus ensemble productions, and to bring these performances to life, we rely on the support of volunteers.

Volunteers play a vital role in creating a professional and magical experience for students and audiences alike.
Even if you weren’t able to participate in past seasons, we invite you to join us in future productions and be part of this inspiring community of artists and supporters.

Internships
Pa’Volar offer internship positions each year, giving participants hands-on experience with costume and prop creation, stage and set building, technical support, and other production tasks. Interns gain valuable insight into production workflows and the opportunity to contribute creatively to the summer show.
Spring internships generally run from mid-March through mid-June, culminating in the summer performance. For the Fall, they run Oct-Dec.
