Leader Opportunity: Help Public School Students Rock!

Save to Favorites

What:

Step up your volunteer game by leading music volunteers in LAUSD Modern Band classrooms.

About Little Kids Rock:
Little Kids Rock is a national nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that all public school children have the opportunity to unlock their inner music makers. They do this by partnering with school districts, training public school teachers in their innovative curriculum, and donating all of the instruments and resources necessary to run rockin’ music programs.

The event you'd manage:
At "MUSICWORKS: Teach Kids to Rock," community volunteers skilled in an instrument help public school students learn to play and appreciate music. As the Project Leader, you'd:

• recruit and train volunteers
• assign, direct, and supervise volunteers
• manage all communication between volunteers, Little Kids Rock, and L.A. Works
• be led by a public school teacher who will be in charge of teaching the curriculum
