Office Volunteers help us with occasional mailing projects and document sorting in the office during weekday office hours. (Mon-Fri, 9 AM-5 PM). The need varies throughout the year depending on our event schedule.

Instrument Petting Zookeeper

We bring instruments to thousands of kids in schools, libraries, farmers markets, and community fairs every year. On average, we have about two zoos per week and go as far as 30 miles from Ann Arbor. Most of the participants are ages 4 through 10. Zookeepers guide children in trying instruments and hand out stickers. You’ll receive a monthly email about upcoming zoo-keeping opportunities, and sign up for as many as your schedule allows. No prior instrumental experience is needed!
