Volunteers & Ambassadors
Perfect for individuals who have time and energy to contribute
Volunteers are the secret ingredient behind catalyzing our community efforts.
Volunteers help with everything from hosting our front desk, shooting promo videos of events, to painting walls between gallery shows. If you’ve got time to donate and an eagerness to make your community a great place, we’ll find a role for you!
Ambassadors help organize unique events for our programming.
Ambassadors make our events like ‘Tuesdays on the Terrace’ and ‘First Fridays’ memorable and dynamic. Without needing to pay a rental fee, Ambassadors work alongside our staff to design truly unique experiences.
In exchange, both volunteers and ambassadors receive the following perks:
- 25% off their own Daytime rentals once/month
- Free parking voucher when hosting 3 Dots events
- 3 Dots swag pack, including t-shirt, stickers, and sunglasses
- If needed, internship credit can be set up
I love volunteering at 3 Dots because of the energy and atmosphere. There is always something new, fun, and innovative that I get to be a part of. It’s like having a front-row seat to the contribution of the creative atmosphere in State College!
I enjoy being a part of a team that consists of some of the most creative and active voices of State College that are generating an awesome culture in this town.
I love co-hosting events for Tuesdays on the Terrace. It allows me to bring my unique interests to 3 Dots, such as exposing people to the outdoors or organizing bike repair clinics.
We have an active Slack community that many of our volunteers join – it’s like being on a group text with some of the most creative people in State College!
Resident Organizations
Perfect for organizations who want a consistent presence downtown
Host regular events and use 3 Dots as one of their primary gathering spaces.
Some partners opt to host our space weekly during the Daytime (such as New Leaf hosting co-working sessions), while others organize consistent Evening programs (such as Centre Social Dance hosting weekly dance parties). Groups that consistently host at least 2 gatherings per month receive the following perks:
- 25%% off all Daytime and Evening rentals
- Free storage space on-site in our utility room
- Priority scheduling for booking events
- Logo listed as a partner on our website and in the space
New Leaf loves community collaborations and we love partnering with 3 Dots. Every Tuesday and Thursday, we host pop-up coworking sessions at 3 Dots, allowing our members to work from new spaces and create connections in the broader community.”
Centre Social Dance couldn’t imagine a more colorful and welcoming culture than 3 Dots. We can’t wait to come back home and dance on a regular basis!
Trustees
Perfect for individuals who are able to financially support
Help fund and vote on our monthly $1000 Awesome Grants.
Trustees donate $100/month and receive the following perks:
- Meet monthly to vote on projects to receive $1000
- 50% off one Evening rental per year
- Priority scheduling for booking events
- Premium swag, including a 3 Dots pull-over
If $100/month is too much, some of our trustees partner with a friend to each give $50/month.
Thanks to 3 Dots, I have gained a new level of excitement and an outlet for creative ways to engage and innovate in our community.
There are a lot of great people doing awesome things in State College and around the region. I wanted to be a Trustee to support their creative efforts and to make sure awesome ideas had an opportunity to flourish in our community.
Becoming a trustee helped me participate directly in helping make State College and the Centre region a more caring, creative, fun place to live. Concrete action instead of just talk… refreshing!!!
Artists, Musicians & Creatives
Perfect for those who want to highlight their craft
Exhibit in our gallery
Artists looking to highlight their work in our galleries can apply for consideration. A panel of local artists reviews applicants for upcoming shows.
Perform on our stage
Whether for our open mic nights or to perform a solo piece for an upcoming event, sign up to be included in our database of musicians and performers.
Cook up a concoction
We love partnering with culinary artists and local food + drink vendors for events. Reach out to get on our list of culinary partners we share with renters.
3 Dots has given me an amazing opportunity to highlight my work and elevating me as an artist to a new level.
Curating musicians for 3 Dots events allows me to bring what I care about into the mix, which is highlighting local emerging artists! There’s no better place to get plugged into the creative scene in town…
