Volunteer Opportunities
The Olympia Symphony Orchestra is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization operating and performing in Thurston County, Washington.
The Symphony has been a vital element of the south Puget Sound arts community since 1921 when 30 musicians started
performing on a regular basis in high school cafeterias. Today, over 75
musicians play an important role in the community by performing live symphonic music for people of all ages and diverse cultures.
Patrons of the orchestra come from throughout the Puget Sound area, but
primarily Thurston, Mason and Lewis counties. A 25-member Board of
Directors actively participates in the
organization. The Olympia Symphony Guild and many volunteer ushers and
concessionaires also support the OSO.
Join in the behind-the-scenes work at the Olympia Symphony Orchestra. No matter what your particular interest, we have something for you...the choice is yours. As an Olympia Symphony Orchestra volunteer you can:
- Get to know others who share your love of music
- Attend orchestra rehearsals
- Use your skills and experience
Office Assistance
There are many opportunities for
volunteers to assist Symphony staff in the office. Some projects may require an ongoing commitment, while others occur on an “as-needed” basis. We will work with you to accommodate your
schedule.
The Symphony has frequent daytime needs, such as:
- Data entry support (maintaining database programs)
- Coordinating mailings (stuffing, folding, labeling)
- General office assistance (answering phones, filing, other administrative tasks)
- Help with special projects (maintaining press clippings, photo archives)
Concert/Special Events
Concert volunteers usher, serve at receptions and help to set up and staff lobby information tables by collecting subscription renewals, providing
information to prospective donors and subscribers and answering concert
attendees questions.
Special Events volunteers assist with OSO’s premiere fundraiser—Celebrate the Symphony and our annual holiday concert—Sing with the Symphony. It takes dozens of
volunteers to make these events
successful.
Support Committees
Volunteer your time and talents by serving on one of the many OSO
support committees. All of our
committee members are friends and community members—just like you. Contact us today if you are interested in serving on these or other OSO
committees:
- Marketing & Public Relations
- Fundraising
- Educational Outreach
Please
contact the OSO office for more information or to start
volunteering!
