Volunteers

Perhaps singing at the bedside is not your thing. Good news—we can use all kinds of volunteers in support of our mission. Our members are on call to respond to requests for singing within hours if necessary, or within days if the call is less urgent. To achieve the degree of flexibility this demands, we must be highly organized, and that means there are many volunteer jobs to fill. A wide range of jobs could be done by a volunteer, depending on your skills, interest and time.

You might be interested in:

  • greeting guests at our rehearsals

  • sitting with a guest during rehearsals to help them feel at ease

  • setting up our rehearsal space and returning it to its original configuration

  • making copies of music and maintaining a supply of songbooks for guests & members

  • keeping an inventory of our physical assets (e.g., equipment and supplies)
