Volunteering At AdYO

Home > Support > Volunteering At AdYO

AdYO is fortunate to have many parents and other individuals who generously donate their time, energy and skills not only at concerts but behind the scenes, fundraising and helping with administrative work. All contributions large or small are hugely appreciated. We are all time poor, but please think seriously about becoming part of AdYO’s wonderful team of volunteers and helpers. It’s rewarding and fun.

What can I do to help AdYO?

There is a variety of ways you can participate. Some jobs require minimal time and commitment whilst others may take a little extra effort. To give you an idea of the types of jobs we have in mind, here is a summary of the tasks parents currently do:

• Performances/Concerts – You can help with ticket sales, ushering, selling drinks or programmes, setting up chairs and stands or blowing up balloons. At the AdSI and AYS concerts, we also need help with the setting out and clearing away of afternoon tea.
• Fundraising – We may need people to be in charge of raffles and other such fundraising activities. You may know of people we can contact regarding donations of goods or prizes or to help us with this task.
• Computer or administrative skills who are happy to donate their time on a regular basis.
• You may also like to volunteer and help out with this year’s AdSI & AYS camps.
