The Volunteer Musicians for the Arts Model of Care

The VMA model of care differs from traditional freelance volunteer performance approaches in emphasizing the following four components:

1

Volunteers belong to a niche 501(c)3 nationwide nonprofit chamber music organization dedicated exclusively to community outreach.


2

Volunteers participate in professionally mentored or self-directed in-person performance events.


3

Junior Program members can enroll in our Leadership Initiative and collaborate with musicians across the country through mentored workshops via VMA’s Google Nonprofit Workspace.


4

Volunteers who complete the VMA’s Leadership Initiative earn the VMA National Service Award.

*As a certified partner of AmeriCorp, students are also eligible for President’s Volunteer Service Award pending ongoing administrative changes within the federal government.
