Salem-Keizer Music and Theatre

Help support music education in Salem-Keizer!

The Music Lessons Project is making a lasting difference by helping connect students with music education opportunities, and they're looking for passionate community members to help continue that mission.

Right now, their greatest need is a Board Secretary, but they're also seeking volunteers and board members with a variety of talents, including:

🎵 Communications & Outreach
💻 Technology
🎼 Music Education & Program Support
🎉 Event Planning
🤝 General Board Leadership

Whether you have experience serving on a nonprofit board or simply want to give back to music education in our community, there's a place for you to make an impact.

Serving doesn't have to mean doing everything—it means bringing your unique skills to a team that believes every student deserves access to music.
