    Opera Volunteers International

    THIS IS NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK
    We celebrate all volunteers this week, but especially you who freely give your time and talents to help keep opera vital in our communities. Whether you stuff envelopes, serve on boards, sew buttons on costumes, lecture in retirement homes, pick up artists at airports, usher at performances, organize fundraisers, feed casts at dress rehearsals or any of the myriad tasks that you are asked to do, you set an example for others. You share your passion for opera with the community and share your energy and expertise with company so that they can do more. So thank you this week and every week for everything you do. Bravi! Young Patronesses of the Opera Volunteers     ...

  • OVI: Sharing the Knowledge, Sharing the Fun

    If there are jobs that need to be done, you can find volunteers doing them - from Board directors to seamstresses, organizers of galas to teachers of school children, ticket-takers to on-stage talent. They all give their time and talent without expecting monetary reward. OVI celebrates this creativity and hard work and offers a way to help make more volunteer involvement possible. OVI members are ready to learn, teach and have a good time, whether in workshops, person to person, in publications or when getting to know a new opera community. OVI membership is open to individuals and groups.
    Supporting opera volunteer initiatives and recognizing those who have made extraordinary contributions is an important part of OVI's mission through
    OVI Matching Grants Program
