Volunteer

Emmanuel Music would not exist without our community of musicians, audiences, staff, supporters, and volunteers - it truly takes a village to make this incredible music happen. If you’d like to help us out behind the scenes, please see below to determine whether any of these areas may be a good fit for you.

Checking in volunteers at an event

Our volunteer opportunities are very flexible. You can volunteer with us on an occasional or regular basis, and we can put you where you are most comfort able and or interested in learning more.

Most volunteer work will take place at our offices/performances at EmmanuelChurch, located at 15 Newbury St., Boston, MA 02116. Some remote work may be possible depending on the need.

To learn more/express your interest, please email our Executive Director, Jaclyn, at jaclyn@emmanuelmusic.org
