The Yorktown Bands needs a cadre of volunteers year round to maintain and grow its multiple ensembles and excellence. If you have time and skill, we likely have a need!

The Yorktown Band Boosters fulfill most volunteer needs. However, these helpers need help. We welcome you if you have ever been a band kid and want to support your local high school program. Contact YorktownBandArlington@gmail.com for more information.

Current/recent opportunities and signup links include:

To ensure the safety of students Arlington Public Schools requires all volunteers to complete an application process prior to volunteering.
