BINGO & VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

VOLUNTEERS ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF YSC

Youth Singers of Calgary’s high calibre program and show-stopping stage performances are supported by our incredible volunteers. Every year, over 20,000 volunteer hours go into making YSC come alive, from moving staging and painting sets, to filing music and chaperoning backstage.

Being in Youth Singers is a big commitment, and families of singers in Grade 3 and older can plan on contributing an average of 6 hours per month to help make the program run. 

Don’t have time to volunteer? Families can buy out of volunteering; these funds are used to hire out the required work. 

Not sure how to get started? Our Volunteer Manager will connect you with an area that fits your interests, skills, and schedule. 

Volunteering is an incredible way to be part of your child’s music growth and show choir experience. Many families come to love volunteering with Youth Singers as it is a rewarding way to learn new skills and be part of an artistic, supportive community.

Families of singers in Grade 3 to 12, as well as singers in the ACT3 adult division, are asked to read and commit to our Volunteer Contract, found HERE.

There are many ways to get involved, and we cannot wait to work with you!

Please sign in to your Choir Genuis account to access the volunteer sign-ups.

AND BINGO IS THE ENGINE

Youth Singers raises gaming funds through an annual raffle, a casino every 18-24 months, and regular bingos. Over time, parent volunteers developed the bingo program into what it is today – a significant revenue source that contributes to artistic staff contracts and facility costs. By chipping in and working bingos, you are powering fundraising efforts to keep YSC a high-quality program with tuition affordable for all. Plus, once your commitment is complete, you can work extra bingos as credit toward your tuition fees!

Bingo commitments vary by program.

  • Grade 3 – 4 bingos per year
  • Grade 4-6 – 6 bingos per year
  • Grade 7-12 – 8 bingos per year
  • Adults in ACT3 only – 6 bingos per year

Many families find that working bingos is a lot of fun. Get a group together and make a night of it, while knowing you are contributing to a great cause.

Don’t have time to work bingos? Families can buy out of the bingo commitment. These funds represent the cost of running your singer’s program that the bingo commitment would have covered.
