Volunteering at GGP

To keep tuition as low as possible, GGP relies on the work of volunteers to coordinate and run the events that occur throughout the year as part of its outstanding orchestral training program. We ask that each family consider how they can share their time and talents to help our community thrive for everyone’s benefit.  During the year, we ask that each family volunteer 20 hours by helping with an ongoing task or specific project.  Take a look at some of our needs below, or if you have an idea for how you can help advance our program, email office@ggph.org.

We are confident that the rewards of meeting new friends and watching your young musician blossom will be well worth your time and effort!  We look forward to working together to supporting GGP kids and an exciting season of music.

Please contact the office@ggph.org with questions or to request a volunteer assignment.
