Volunteering with Youth Choirs
Our Safe Congregation policy requires a minimum of two adults to be present at all First Parish youth events and activities. For this reason, we need adult volunteers to be present at all youth choir rehearsals throughout the church year.
Adult family members, caregivers, parishioners, and friends are warmly welcome to volunteer in this role.
