We Need a Few Good Men & Women

Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Crafts Center. We simply couldn’t do all we do without the invaluable help of the folks who so generously volunteer their time and talents to make the Crafts Center an amazing place to visit. It’s a great way to spend time in an inspiring environment while helping to promote the mission of the Craftsmen’s Guild of Mississippi. (Not to mention, it’s a whole lot of fun!)

There are several volunteer positions for which you can apply. Simply look at the information on positions available and choose what interests you on our volunteer form. For more information, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at info@mscrafts.org.
