Young Musicians for Volunteer Action

Young Musicians for Volunteer Action is a non-profit, student-run group devoted to using musical abilities to bring some happiness and enjoyment to people in the community. Our first performance was at the 1860 House (now known as The Montgomery Center for the Arts) in 2001 to raise funds for victims of the terrorist attacks against the United States. The organization has since performed numerous times at assisted living residences, taught music classes for underprivileged children, and held collections for those in need.

Members are generally high school aged (14-18), but from time to time college or middle schoolers will also perform with the group. Also, most attend Montgomery High School, although YMVA is not affiliated it. New members are accepted on a rolling basis, through a process of application and audition or resume.

Each year, elections are held for the positions of President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Director, and Assistant Director. To help keep costs down, all music is written and arranged by the Directors.
