vOLUNTEER WITH THE BLACK ROSE

The Black Rose is run almost entirely by volunteers. Our organization only exists because of time and energy from folks giving back to our community. If you enjoy our concerts, jams, classes, and other events, won’t you consider helping? You can apply in person at any of our shows or by using the form below.

Here are some current volunteering opportunities. All of our openings require good communication and organization skills and the ability to communicate effectively by electronic means. We use email to coordinate most of our activities:

• Social Media Manager

We are curently looking for someone to manage our social medai accounts. Duties include:

• Training from previous manager on the procedure used to post on the various platforms (1 Zoom meeting should suffice).

• Posting Black Rose events weekly on Facebook, Instagram, and X. Events include upcoming concerts, jams, Open Mics, Showcases, classes, and the occasional special event. All information used for these will be on this website and may be copied or reworded.

• Monitoring user comments, questions, and feedback and either answering them directly, or communicating to an approriate board member.

• Communicating with board liason to social media via a brief monthly report (several paragraphs in a email is adequate).
