Volunteers/Ushers
Volunteering at the Scranton Cultural Center is easy.
It's a great way to get out and help keep this historic landmark in full operation while having a good time in the process. Our volunteers serve in a wide variety of capacities - from ushers and ticket takers at one of our many SCC, Broadway or Philharmonic performances, to assistance with our Children's Series workshop programs and to help in our administrative offices.
Volunteering takes many forms at the Center, and there's probably one that's just right for you.
And to those of you who are already members of our volunteer family, a great big Thank You for all you do to keep this building alive and vibrant!
We couldn't do it without you!
