Become a volunteer

 
As a non-profit organization, Cantare Con Vivo relies on the generosity of volunteers to help with a variety of tasks, including ushering at concerts, helping at special events and assisting with our education and outreach program – Cantare Children’s Choirs of Oakland.

We welcome your interest, enthusiasm and talents. If you would like to participate in what Cantare offers to the community, we have many volunteer opportunities available. We encourage you to review the list on the right and call or email us to let us know your interest.
