Volunteer Opportunities with Friends of Arington’s Planetarium (April 2026)

The Friends of Arlington’s Planetarium (FOAP) is an all-volunteer organization - from our grassroots beginning, to our elected board of directors, and to our many members who support our community programs and outreach efforts. Right now, the Friends are seeking support from volunteers to help us with short-term and long-term needs in the following areas:

Fundraising Coordinator - The Friends are seeking a volunteer to lead the organization's fundraising efforts. This role is especially critical as we are planning celebrations in 2027 to celebrate 15 years of the planetarium. The time commitment for this role is 5 to 10 hours a month.

Graphic Design Support - We seek a volunteer with skills and expertise in graphic design to work with our board in coordinating our branding across our communications and activities. This support requires 5 hours per month.

Portable Dome Planetarium Operators - FOAP was fortunate to acquire a portable dome in 2024. We are seeking volunteers to join our cadre of trained portable dome equipment operators. This would require hands-on training (one to two sessions) and volunteering for events where FOAP’s portable dome is being showcased. The time commitment for portable dome operators is a few times a year, and each event requires a few hours time.
