OYC trains children and youth to learn and perform a varied repertoire, supporting the Oakland community’s rich artistic diversity by providing community-based music education programs that reflect the cultural richness of our city. OYC singers develop self-confidence, a knowledge of the music of several cultures, musical skills and literacy, and a lifelong love of music.
The ideal candidates will be fluent speakers and writers in either Mandarin Chinese, Arabic or Vietnamese who can clearly translate and articulate OYC’s materials, mission, and vision and will be able to work independently with little or no supervision. Each person must be exceedingly well organized, flexible and able to work within tight project deadlines.
The ability to interact with staff (at all levels) remaining flexible, proactive, resourceful and efficient, with a high level of professionalism and confidentiality is crucial to this role. Expert written and verbal communication skills and attention to detail are equally important.

Mission Statement
The Oakland Youth Chorus unites diverse communities and transforms young people’s lives through excellence in music education and community performance.
Description
The Oakland Youth Chorus provides Bay Area students of diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds with a comprehensive TK-12 multicultural music education. OYC participants develop confidence, collaboration and socio-emotional learning skills, respect for diverse peoples and greater understanding of the world’s cultures. They become global citizens and advocates for community change. Music plays a vital role in a young person’s life. Whether or not a young person pursues music as a profession, OYC provides students with fundamental tools and skills to succeed.
OYC provides school day and after school programs at low or no-cost to families. Music education programs and choral training ensembles are located in schools and community sites throughout Oakland, Alameda, Richmond and El Cerrito for children and youth aged 4-19. Our approach combines repertoire from cultures around the world, performance opportunities, and a concrete foundation in music literacy. Students at every level of our programming enjoy opportunities to travel with the Chorus to perform for local schools, organizations and cultural events.
