Review for Di Rosa Preserve, Napa, CA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

Volunteers at diRosa are not treated like interchangeable parts. They are encouraged to use their personal strengths (within reason, of course) to present the fabulous art collection to the public in a way that is engaging, entertaining, and informative. Volunteers who work 'behind the scenes' are valued, as are those who are more front-and-center.
The training for volunteers is very good. The artist presentations and in-service training keep the volunteers fresh and 'on message'.The scheduling is very respectful of the volunteers' lives outside of diRosa. These are three ways the diRosa shines.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Visitors are often taken by surprise at diRosa. It is an intimate, personal experience that makes some of the most difficult work approachable. No one likes everything they see, but almost everyone sees something that takes their breath away. Repeat visitors are often surprised to 'discover' art that they had not previously seen.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Wave a magic money wand so diRosa would never lack funding.

Role:  Volunteer & I give tours, work in the gift shop, help with special events, and work in the garden.
