VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT

Edmonton String Players Association is a volunteer run, non-profit organization and federally registered charity. This means that the Music Enrichment Program is able to remain affordable and accessible to students across socio-economic borders. Without the time and support of volunteers, the Music Enrichment Program would not be able to continue.

Thank you to all of those who volunteered their time in various ways throughout the last season!
