Volunteer

Want to help out in our office or at concerts?

WMI is looking for enthusiastic individuals who want to join the WMI Team as interns and volunteers and help us produce our exciting concert series. Perks include tickets to WMI concerts and other special events.

We need help with:

  • Community Outreach
  • Social Media
  • Office Administration
  • Concerts

Community Outreach

For each of our concerts, we contact the specific ethnic community for that particular concert. Community Outreach interns/volunteers research and then travel to various communities in New York City and communicate with community leaders and members in order to create awareness of upcoming WMI events.

Office Administration

** Temporarily suspended due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Office interns are assigned to different departments at WMI according to their skills and WMI’s needs. They provide general administrative and clerical support.

Concerts

** The health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and patrons is our top priority. WMI requires all staff and volunteers to show proof of vaccination and wear a mask at all times while inside the office and venues.

Volunteers at WMI concerts assist with CD sales and membership registration. They typically work 4 hours per show. Concert volunteers must attend a one-time orientation meeting organized twice a year.

All volunteer and intern positions require the individual to perform multiple tasks and prioritize in a fast-paced environment. Strong verbal and written communications skills and a pleasant and professional manner are essential. Bilingual skills are greatly valued.
