YEA Guild

The YEA Guild was formed in 2002 to formalize the volunteer corps that has been supporting YEA and the Ensemble for more than a decade. Without the incredible effort of our volunteers, many of YEA’s programs would not be possible. The Guild is formed into functional committees dealing with hospitality, fundraising, audience development, merchandise, and production. These committees are headed by volunteers from the Guild who work with the Guild’s coordinator.

Guild membership is open to parents, family, friends, and supporters of YEA. If you are interested in joining the Guild, please sign up on our mailing list and indicate your interest. Someone will contact you to determine your interest areas and get you started as a volunteer. We use volunteers from the Guild for a number of projects, including ushering, office work, flyer distribution, building and landscaping projects, and production.
