| Description |
We will need more volunteers to help through November and early December, or start in January 2026. Please inquire with us, if there's anything else you'd like to help with. Support our coffee breaks for the following group rehearsals: Fundamentals on Thursday from 1:30-2:30pm, and Sundays from 5:30-8:30pm for the Open Mic. Volunteers will assist with set-up of coffee, snacks and tea, and tidy up afterwards. It’s an easy and relaxed, recurring volunteer role. If you aren’t already a member of the group, feel free to stay and socialize or sit-in as a supporting musician. This role really helps free up time for our staff to continue with their vital work in the office. Ideally we are looking for someone who can commit for a minimum of 2-3 months. Longer term placement is an option. |
