Heartland Youth Choir believes in the power of a local non-profit to impact the lives of children through music. Through a performance-based program, it brings both musical literacy and character development to a diverse group of students. The board is in search of members ready to utilize their experience, expertise, and networks to help grow the organization. The board meets once a month. Terms are three years and require some financial contribution.
