Track Society’s Volunteer Force brings together music professionals, community members, students, veterans, social workers, creatives, and other supporters who contribute their time, experience, and skills to our mission.
Volunteers support Track Society virtually and in person through event operations, participant communication, hospitality, administration, data collection, media, design, research, production, and other mission-aligned work.

Use your professional experience, creative abilities, or community knowledge to support programs serving independent music professionals.

Volunteer assignments may provide experience in nonprofit operations, event coordination, communications, hospitality, media, research, administration, data collection, and project support.

Work alongside volunteers, board members, facilitators, community partners, and music industry professionals who care about strengthening the independent music community.
