What kind of volunteer opportunities does Harmonium offer?

Individual volunteers are needed to help with tutoring, mentoring, program & event coordination and conducting specialized classes in our Children's and Youth programs. Harmonium's Board of Directors is another opportunity for individual volunteers to make a difference in the community.

Youth Volunteers are encouraged to get involved at the Epicentre where we offer advisory groups such as the Music Venue Council, Teen Advisory Council, community events and youth/professional mentorship.

Group Volunteer Projects are a way for businesses, colleges & universities, community service clubs, youth organizations or other outreach groups to get involved in Harmonium by assisting us with larger projects.
