Counselor in Training (CIT) Program

The Counselor in Training Program serves as an opportunity for teens (ages 14-17) who are both interested in the arts and engaging with youth. CITs will work closely with RCAC staff, camp instructors, and students to provide a positive art camp experience. This unique volunteer opportunity at the Dahl Arts Center allows teens to gain firsthand experience in a professional art education setting, develop their leadership skills, and build positive relationships.

Please complete the application below by May 23, 2021 to be considered for Summer 2021 programming. 
On behalf of the Rapid City Arts Council, the Dahl staff, Board of Directors, and our volunteers, we would like to express our sincere gratitude and thank the City of Rapid City for their ongoing support of our organization. It is because of support like this that we are able to continue to fulfill our mission to champion inclusive, innovative and inspired arts opportunities to enrich the communities we serve.
