Urban Melodies Description

Urban Melodies is a music program for children and youth in the Mission Waco programs. We are looking for individuals who can teach their specialized instrument to children and/or youth of different levels as well as engage with the Mission Waco Afterschool Programs.

Volunteers may help by teaching music lessons and maintaining instruments. It is helpful to have individuals who are music majors or have a minimum of 3 years of experience with instrument/singing and some teaching experience.

In addition, volunteers will provide support to the staff of the after school program children and/or youth of different levels.

If you are interested in volunteering with the Urban Expressions to help teach lessons program contact Carlton Willis at cwillis@missionwaco.org to set up a meeting to discuss program needs and your interests and musical talents. From there, depending on your schedule and the program needs for the semester, Carlton will connect you to the children & youth program staff to set a schedule for lessons.
