• Flexible schedule - we'll let you know the deadlines in advance

Ideal Volunteer

• Passion for advancing opportunities for young women and fostering equity in music/arts

Impact

Your expertise will directly help a small but growing nonprofit compete for major national funding - opening doors for more young women to access music, mentorship, and leadership development, who wouldn't otherwise be able to!
