The Associates of UNCSA
A vital link between the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) and the community!
Founded in 1983, The Associates is a group of dedicated people whose common interest is the advancement of UNCSA and the well-being of its students. This volunteer organization provides a number of opportunities for you to support and promote the activities of the school. We invite you to become involved in the life of the school through one of The Associates’ programs listed below.
For more information on how to become a UNCSA volunteer, please contact Lisa Ransom at ransome@uncsa.edu or 336-770-1372.
Host Parents/Families provide warm and inviting home environments for high school students wishing to take a break from hectic schedules and busy dorm life. This is an excellent chance to get to know up-and-coming artists and develop life-long friendships.
Helpmates assist the Advancement Office with clerical duties and mailings.
“The UNCSA Associates Present”works with UNCSA faculty to arrange behind-the-scenes programs to give the public an insider’s glimpse into the staging of UNCSA productions.
Hospitality hosts small parties and receptions in conjunction with Associates’ events, including “The UNCSA Associates Presents”programs.
Tour Guides are available on a limited, as-needed basis. Tour guides are trained to conduct walking tours of the campus for special guests and visitors who want to know more about UNCSA.
Movie Extras continues our interaction with the School of Filmmaking through two programs. Location Shots is an opportunity for Associates to offer their homes as locations for student films, and Casting Calls gives Associates a chance to satisfy that inner yearning to act in student film productions.
A Note from the President
We are dedicated volunteers, 150+ strong, united as friends and as partners to advocate, promote and support UNCSA. Join us in this exciting opportunity to serve students who are being trained for professional careers in the arts. The benefits are priceless!
