Peterborough, Canada Kawartha Youth Orchestra Full time

**About the Role**

The Board of Directors Member for Social Media & Marketing will provide strategic guidance and oversight in shaping the organization’s digital marketing strategy and social media presence. This position plays a crucial role in helping to expand the organization’s reach, enhance its brand presence, and engage with key stakeholders, customers, and the community across multiple digital platforms. As a member of the Board, the individual will contribute expertise in marketing, branding, and digital communication to help ensure that the organization meets its strategic objectives.

**About the Organization**

We are a community music and orchestra-training organization serving elementary through post-secondary-aged youth and has been running continuously since 2002. Our mission is to combine accessibility with a pursuit of excellence in our orchestral experiences and training. No child is denied music participation because of restricted financial means. Our instrument-lending library ensures children have quality instruments with which to learn. We at the Kawartha Youth Orchestra provide professional instrumental teaching artists and performers, hosts public education events, advocates for the Arts, and promotes social innovation partnerships that tie music learning and performance to community-building initiatives.

We aim to give our members a life-long love of music, while also helping them develop self-esteem, discipline, teamwork, leadership, performance skills, and a strong connection to their community through music. We currently run three ensembles - one for new musicians, an intermediate group, and a senior youth orchestra for developing and experienced instrumentalists. Since September 2021, we have run a subsidized music program downtown, which is an after-school ensemble instruction program for children, aged 6-18 years, facing pronounced socio-economic barriers. The program runs three afternoons a week and provides a daily nutritious mini-meal, a safe landing place for guided positive social interaction and leadership development, 1:1 attention and role modelling from caring adults, and skill development through ensemble instrumental music instruction.
