Volunteer Opportunities
The Oakville Symphony is built on volunteers: our talented volunteer musicians help make us one of Canada’s most successful community orchestras; our volunteer Board works to maintain that success and give the artistic team the resources to do the valuable work.
Beside the Board and the Musicians we have some wonderful people who help behind the scenes with tasks that include:
- Outreach: Help plan activities, deliver posters, greet families at concerts
- Fundraisers: Help plan and participate in special events to raise funds
- Social media: Tweet, post, and photograph for us!
- Usher at a concert
- Host a reception
- Be an ambassador to the OS by handing out promo materials and chatting with potential patrons
Why volunteer?
Studies have shown that volunteering is good for your health, develops new skills even while you are providing your existing skills, strengthens your ties in the community and makes you feel like you have more time!
Will it take much time?
Only as much as you are willing to give. Many tasks can be completed in a few hours a month or less. We will find something that it is a good fit for you!
