YOUR TIME MAKES A DIFFERENCE FOR OUR STUDENTS
VOLUNTEERS MAKE IT POSSIBLE
GIVE YOUR TIME.
SUPPORT OUR PROGRAMS.
BE PART OF THE UMMP EXPERIENCE.
Our programs would not be possible without the families and community members who generously give their time. Volunteers help UMMP run major fundraising events like Music in Motion (MIM), Guards in the Grove (GIG), and our High School and Middle School Jazz Festivals.
These events help keep participation costs affordable, provide and maintain instruments and equipment, support qualified staff, and provide financial assistance to students in need.
Whether you give a few hours at an event, chaperone students, provide food, help build props, or lend a hand behind the scenes, your time directly supports our students and the experiences they’ll remember for years to come.
