Virtual Youth Music Lessons

Save to Favorites

The Sun Valley Youth Center is a nonprofit youth center located in Denver. We offer a variety of programs to the children of the Sun Valley neighborhood to aid in their social, emotional, and physical development. We aim to holistically meet the needs of our kids while providing a safe and nurturing environment for them to learn and grow.

We are looking for music teachers to help our kids in 1:1 lessons. We have 3 different instruments that we are looking to teach, so if you would be able to help in one (or more) of them, we'd love your help! The instruments are guitar, ukulele, and piano. Please respond to this opportunity if you are interested.
