Volunteer: Photographer/Videographer

We are looking for someone that is good with a camera to attend some of our classes and events to capture photographs and videos for our organization.  Our programming involves martial arts, acrobatics, dance, and singing.  Someone that has a knack for capturing action shots would be best.  This project will involve attending a couple classes a month and our major performances/events.  There is no need to stay for the entire class, but getting clips of the class would be great! The next big event is a summer camp on July 23rd. 


Time commitment would be 2-3 hours per month.
