Volunteer: Board MemberSeattle Pro Musica seeks Board Members!
Seattle Pro Musica, the Northwest's premier volunteer choir, exists to enrich and inspire our audiences, singers, and community through the experience of choral artistry, and to increase access to and appreciation of choral music. We believe in the power of voices joined in harmony to improve the lives of our audiences, our singers, and the community at large. We also believe in making the beauty of choral music available to as many people as possible. Though our members come from all walks of life and span generations, we are united by our desire to make beautiful music together and share it with the world. Seattle Pro Musica is made up of four performing groups: The 80-voice Seattle Pro Musica choir Vox, our mixed-voices chamber ensemble Chroma, our select ensemble for sopranos and altos Orpheon, our select ensemble for tenors and basses Throughout our 50-year history, we’ve been recognized for the caliber of our programming and performances. We’ve received the Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence and the ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming, and we were ranked as “among America’s very best choirs” by American Record Guide. Under the baton of Artistic Director and Conductor Karen P. Thomas, we’ve received international acclaim for our CD recordings and live performances. Choir and Organ writes, “Seattle Pro Musica presents a cappella singing at its best,” and Fanfare Record says, “This is truly an extraordinary choir.” We’ve also appeared by invitation at numerous international and national festivals, and we’ve been fortunate enough to perform with artists like Jane Eaglen, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Pacific MusicWorks, and Seattle Symphony. Members of Seattle Pro Musica have also appeared on GRAMMY Award- winning and GRAMMY-nominated albums by Ricky Kej and Wouter Kellerman. Most importantly, Seattle Pro Musica is beloved by a community of listeners and supporters who make everything we do possible. STATEMENT ON CULTURAL EQUITYEveryone deserves equal access to a full and vibrant creative life, and this access is essential to a free and healthy society. To support the creative life of our community, Seattle Pro Musica commits to policies and practices of cultural equity that foster equal access, inclusion, and justice. We recognize cultural equity as a framework of values, policies, and practices that ensures arts institutions serve the needs of all people, especially those who have historically been underserved based on race/ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geography, citizenship status, or religion. As we pursue our artistic mission, we will hold ourselves accountable to cultural equity. By acknowledging and challenging inequities, both as an individual arts organization and in partnership with others, we can and will make change happen. WHAT SPM IS LOOKING FOR IN BOARD MEMBERSMust have a passion for the performing arts and their role in civic life. Must wish to serve a smaller but growing organization. Must be committed to cultural equity. Must go beyond volunteering time and energy to providing strategic leadership for future growth.

WHAT SPM BOARD SERVICE HAS TO OFFERSeattle Pro Musica is a highly regarded organization poised to grow with respect to its influence on the Pacific Northwest performing arts scene and in the world of choral performance at the national and international levels.

Volunteer: HELP YOUNG ADULTS AVOID HOMELESSNESSMAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A YOUNG ADULT'S LIFE.
Over 1,500 youth and young adults between the ages of 12-25 are homeless or unstably housed in King County. Shelter beds and community resources are limited, leaving the vast majority of young people without access to food or safe housing. Through the YMCA Host Homes Program, you have the opportunity to be a champion for some of these young adults facing who are facing homelessness. WHAT IS THE YMCA HOST HOMES PROGRAM?Host Homes is a 6-month transitional housing program that matches young people ages 18 - 24 who are at risk of experiencing homelessness with caring hosts in the community who can provide the space and opportunity young adults need to build independent living skills, gain stability, and focus on goal attainment. While enrolled, young adults receive 1-on-1 case management support as well as access to wrap-around services through the YMCA Social Impact Center. Hosts are volunteers in King County who want to make a difference in the life of a young person. They offer a room in their home that provides safe, short-term housing to a young adult who needs support to focus on housing, employment, education, and/or other stabilizing goals. Hosts receive guidance and support from our Team every step of the way. It is important to us that young people have the opportunity to be matched with host families that fit within their cultural orientation and individual lifestyle. We are searching for host families that come from various backgrounds and experiences. Host families may be single, married or partnered and represent a wide range of ethnicities, religions, sexual identities, cultures, etc. One common trait that all host families have is their passion, commitment and dedication in making a positive difference in the lives of young people. WHO CAN BE A HOST HOME PROVIDER? Families who want to give back to their community and serve as a support for a young adult experiencing homelessness may be interested in joining the YMCA Host Homes program. Although Host Homes is a short 6-month commitment, many Hosts and participants find that their connection continues long after their exit. Host Homes is also a great opportunity for prospective foster parents who would like to try living with a young person for 6 months before committing to something more long-term. All hosts must meet the following criteria: Host families must be 21 years of age or older. Have a spare bedroom or private space within their home. Pass a background OR reference check. Have homeowner or renters insurance and live within King County. Must be willing to complete a home inspection and training program.WHAT ARE HOST HOME PROVIDERS' RESPONSIBILITIES? Host families are asked to: Provide temporary stable housing for six months. Provide a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment for trust and friendship to develop between the young person and your family. Create agreements with the young person and hold them accountable to those agreements. The opportunity to participate in your family’s daily life and events, make them feel a part of the family with the same privileges and obligations. Provide a private bedroom with a bed and meals. Maintain close contact with the Host Home Recruiter and address problems and concerns (difficulty adapting to family, behavior etc.) as they occur.Once enrolled, Hosts will receive a monthly stipend to offset any expenses associated with having another person in the home. Please note: Hosts are NOT expected to provide any financial assistance to the young adult - they will work with their Case Manager who will support them with any expressed needs. If you are already hosting a young adult between the ages of 12 - 24 and are not a parent or guardian, you may be eligible for supports through our Kinship Host Homes model.
