VMA student leaders help guide outreach initiatives, support school clubs, and strengthen service through music across the country.
Club officers and national student leaders are elected by their peers, while State Senators are selected through the National Leadership Fellowship application.
Students who serve in VMA leadership roles support the mission through outreach participation, service, and fundraising initiatives that help sustain programs across the country.
The best way to begin your VMA leadership journey is by starting a club at your school. Learn how to form a club, bring musicians together, and begin making a difference in your community through music.

Students serving as club officers help organize outreach concerts, coordinate club activities, and support service initiatives within their school community.
National student leaders help guide outreach initiatives, support fundraising campaigns, and strengthen collaboration between VMA clubs across the country.
Each leadership role includes a minimum fundraising requirement that supports outreach programs and community initiatives organized by Volunteer Musicians.
Students may run for leadership positions even if they are still working toward their fundraising requirement. However, elected leaders must complete the requirement within the designated timeframe to serve in their role.
Leadership positions are designed to help students grow as musicians and community leaders by organizing performances that bring music to those who need it most.
Through leadership roles, students help expand outreach efforts, inspire other musicians, and strengthen a national network dedicated to service through music.
