Special Events and Work Days

In addition to helping with the day-to-day operations of The Children’s Playhouse, we also seek volunteers in larger numbers for our annual STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) event, BuildFest, which is held in April at Watauga High School. We need over 100 volunteers for BuildFest to help with set-up and clean-up and with running activities.

In the summer, The Playhouse provides activities at the Kids’ Corner at the Watauga County Farmers’ Market on the 1st and 5th Saturday of every month.

Lastly, if you would like to volunteer as a group, we hold work days at least once or twice a quarter to do tasks like deep cleaning, spreading mulch, organizing storage spaces, or painting and making repairs.

For more information about volunteering for special events and work days, please contact Director of Visitor Services and Programs Ellen Lewis or call 828-263-0011.
