Ways to Give
Become a Member
Your membership contribution helps in a variety of ways: upkeep of studios and other facilities, operational expenses, upgrades to infrastructure, and environmental stewardship of our 150-acre campus.
Give Your Time as a Volunteer
Hosting over 100 workshops, symposiums, and special events per season, and with over 160 woodland acres to manage, Touchstone is always looking for an extra hand (or ten) to help with various campus and administrative tasks. We’ll reach out as volunteer opportunities arise.
