The activities of the organization: Include the education of members and the general public in music appreciation, particularly barbershop singing. Charitable projects are offered on a local and national basis. The Youth in Harmony (Youth Outreach) program is designed to preserve the art form by introducing it to a new generation of singers.

The organization's headquarters operations relocated to Nashville, Tennessee in August of 2007.
