Volunteer Opportunities with Rock to the Future!

If you're looking for an exciting way to give back to your community, help Philadelphia youth, and get that warm, fuzzy feeling, Rock to the Future is it! Rock to the Future needs volunteers to work directly with the program participants in our MusiCore after school program.

Rock to the Future (RTTF) is a 501(c)3 organization founded in 2010 that provides music education for Philadelphia's underserved youth at no cost to them or their families. Using music, our programs ignite passion and creativity, support academic achievement, and improve self-esteem. We empower individuals and strengthen communities.

Rock to the Future always needs additional volunteers to work directly with our program participants. Program volunteers are generally needed Monday through Friday from 4-6pm from September 2017 through mid-June 2018. Some volunteers help out once a week, some once a month, and some multiple times a week - the time commitment is flexible. Rock to the Future's MusiCore after school program serves youth in grades 6 - 12. 

If you'd like to learn more, please register to join us on Tuesday, October 3, 2017 from 6-7 p.m. at Rock to the Future for our volunteer information and training session!
