Redeeming Volunteer Hours as tuition:

Volunteers can register for our Earn and Learn Program and redeem their volunteer hours towards full or reduced tuition. For every two hours of volunteer time, volunteers earn one hour of class time. Ten hours of volunteer time can be redeemed for an individual-level membership. Volunteers looking to redeem hours must obtain a voucher.

Contact Laura Redmond, Volunteer Coordinator: volunteers@sharonarts.org, (603) 924-7256

Please Note: We encourage volunteers to request a voucher several days in advance of registration. Volunteers redeeming their Earn and Learn hours are not considered paying students and therefore, their enrollment will not allow an insufficiently filled class to run. If a class fills beyond the maximum number of students allotted, volunteers planning to redeem hours may pay tuition to hold their spot or forfeit it for a paying student
