Guelph Youth Singers is an organization that relies on parent volunteers to help with many activities. There is the ongoing volunteering such as chaperoning/ performance assistants for concerts/events and weekly rehearsal assistants. We also have a large need for volunteers to do one-off projects and ad hoc committees. We would ask each parent to volunteer for at least two one-off projects/ad hoc committees throughout the year in addition to the regular needs at rehearsals and concerts.
