Muse Knoxville highly values community engagement and volunteerism and recognizes the monumental impact that volunteers have on every aspect of our organization.

“Volunteering at Muse Knoxville was such a meaningful experience. I got to spend time with kids and families from all kinds of backgrounds, which really opened my eyes. It taught me a lot about how important it is to be mindful of different cultures, how to communicate in ways that really connect, and how powerful community spaces can be for bringing people together.”

“This was one of the best volunteer experiences I have had here at UT! It was fun being able to interact with kids and make crafts with them. I was able to connect with other volunteers and we were able to help keep Muse in great condition. I highly recommend volunteering here!”

“I had a great time volunteering at Muse Knoxville! The children were energetic, sweet, and full of curiosity. It was amazing to see their excitement while exploring and playing. Volunteering at Muse Knoxville was a rewarding experience and I loved being a part of such a fun environment!”
