High school and college students that participate in band or play an instrument can come in and help diagnose donated instruments for any issues and even possibly repair them! Additionally, these students can work with middle school band students to help them with music lessons. Students with no music experience can assist with tutoring some of the students in our program when they struggle in school. We need assistance with inventory of our performance closet, as well as instrument inventory. Catherine's Orchestra also offers job shadowing and internships for marketing, finance, non-profit work, grant writing, etc. For more information, please contact Erin Rheinscheld at erin@cofamusic.com or 615-414-7964.

Restoration Community Outreach, Inc.

We are a Community Development Center that is now in our 24th year specializing in tutoring Pre-K through 10th grade in math and language arts. We do preventive maintenance with youth ages 11 til 18. Our tutoring is done one-on-one for the most part. We could use some volunteers who are comfortable assisting in math to tutor some of the students in 7th through 10th grade with math needs. Reading comprehension is another area where students with good grades can help with tutoring. The tutoring would take place anywhere between 3-9 PM.

If you're interested in this opportunity, please contact Mrs. Dean Jackson by emailing rcodean@aol.com or calling (615) 754-7777 for more information and to sign up.
