Guelph Youth Singers (GYS) is an award winning choir with a vision to support the well-being of youth through inclusive, fun, and high-quality musical training and performance experiences. Our mission is to create an inclusive and supportive musical environment where youth in our community can learn, build confidence, and share in something bigger than themselves. We are currently seeking an energetic individual, age 15 to 30, to fill our Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) position and to work with staff and volunteers as the GYS Assistant Choir Coordinator.
Do you have a passion for music and youth initiatives? Do you have a strong working knowledge of digital and social media platforms, experience with online marketing, excellent organizational skills, and proficiency with Microsoft Office?

- scan documents for digital storage
- stamp and number new music and enter into spreadsheet and database
- organize music for next fall and prepare music bags for choristers
- organize uniforms, rehearsal supplies, and music files
Strong organizational and computer skills are required, including proficiency with Microsoft Office suite. The successful candidate will have the ability to work independently and to seek assistance/clarification when required. Experience with social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, is also required. Experience with website and graphic design software, video editing, and online video conferencing platforms is an asset. Some administrative and/or customer service work experience is also an asset.
The position is expected to begin May 24. The hourly rate is $14.25. The position is funded by Canada Summer Jobs and youth aged 15 – 30 are eligible to apply. The hours will total 280 but the hours/week and end date will be determined. Due to COVID-19, the position will be performed remotely until restrictions ease. We hope some time can be spent working in the Guelph Youth Singers office as well, located at the Guelph Youth Music Centre, 75 Cardigan St.
