Join the Board

The Tennessee Youth Symphony is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing young musicians with the opportunity to learn and perform at the highest level. We are always seeking dedicated parents to serve as board members and help guide the direction of the organization.

As a board member, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of young musicians. You will be responsible for helping to guide the organization’s strategic direction, developing and implementing policies, and ensuring financial stability.

The ideal candidate for this role is a parent who is passionate about music and the arts, and has a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of young people. While not a requirement, we are looking for individuals with experience in fundraising, marketing, and community outreach. An understanding of the non-profit sector is a plus.
