About Our Mighty Volunteer Force
The Spirit of the Volunteer Force
We are fortunate to have the volunteer support of independent music community members, social workers, dietitians, graphic
designers, videographers, military veterans, philanthropists, and financial
consultants. It's because of the Volunteer Force’s service that Track Society is making a legendary impact within the independent music community today. Our Volunteer Force is mighty and is also known for its authentic, relatable vibe.
The Track Society Volunteer Force collaborates directly with our Board of Directors.
Personal & Professional Development Opportunities
We provide in-person & virtual volunteer opportunities to support our passion projects such as, Track Meet: The Independent Music Summit of the Year. We've gained quality volunteer support from The Greater Houston Area, Oklahoma City, South Florida, San Diego, Phoenix and more.
Also, Track Society’s Board of Directors positions are currently filled by volunteers; fostering a relentless volunteer force through and through. The fabric of the Track Society's Volunteer Force is made up of excellence, competence, dependability, professionalism and transparency.
