Volunteering

Volunteers are the life blood of the Calgary Girls Choir.  Every event, workshop, and performance the choristers participate in is dependent on the hard work and dedication of chorister parents. Without parent volunteers, there are no chaperones, no fundraising teams, no decorations; quite literally no events. Come have some fun, share your talents, support your girls, and do your part to make sure that Ms. Quilichini’s excellent programs can continue to flourish.
