Volunteer Opportunities

Puppet Clinic: Build with us

Sometimes we need some extra help papier mache-ing, painting, or patching up a puppet.

Teach with us

We often look for volunteers to assist with community workshops, Summer Camps and story time lend a hand if you have a passion for assistant teaching!

Puppet Library

We often need help during our puppet library hours – greeting the public, telling them about the puppets, helping with puppet check-out

Volunteer During our Events

Do you like to interact with the public? Come help us sell concessions, usher, sell merch and engage in other ways during our events throughout the year!

Help with Main Stage Productions

Get involved in the behind the scenes work that goes into creating new puppet shows — set building, puppet-making, sewing, ushering, and more!

Perform with Us

Learn from expert puppeteers how to wear and perform with puppets! We have collaborations with places like the MN Orchestra where extra volunteer performers are often needed!
