The Bartholomew County 4-H Fair is just around the corner, and the local Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is looking for volunteers to help direct vehicles to parking areas during the fair, running from June 19th-June 27th.

This event is the FOP’s largest annual fundraiser, and the proceeds support numerous charitable programs and youth-focused events throughout the year, made possible through our FOP 89 Youth Program, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

If you're a coach, mentor, or parent involved with a youth team or group and are seeking sponsorship or funding for a project, volunteering is a great way to contribute and potentially benefit from future support.

We need 20–25 volunteers each evening, with shifts running from 4:30/5:00 PM to 9:00/10:00 PM (flexible based on your availability). The busiest nights are Friday and Saturday, and we especially need help then!
Wednesday, June 24th is Kids Day, which is also very busy — we’re looking for 5–6 daytime volunteers as well.

When signing up, please include your available times in the “Notes” section of your response. Additional event details are listed below.

As a thank-you, all volunteers will be entered into a drawing to win a gas grill or cash prizes!

The Columbus Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors is looking for individuals from the community to join our IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access) committee. The CSO highly values Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility. As a result, the board of directors developed an IDEA committee in 2020 to strengthen the orchestra’s commitment to these principles, both within the orchestra’s musician membership and the broader community audience and supporters. The IDEA committee assesses the CSO’s current strengths and implements action plans to address areas in need of improvement.   It is the goal of the CSO Board that the IDEA committee be comprised of community members that reflect the makeup, ideas, and values of the greater Columbus area community. The CSO envisions a diverse, inclusive, equitable, and accessible community that is engaged in musical excellence for education and enjoyment.   Participation in this committee may include development of partnerships for concerts, attendance at local community events on behalf of the CSO, and evaluation of CSO practices. The committee meets once per quarter, or as needed if preparing for a particular event. Committee meetings take place virtually, while concerts and other events occur in-person.

Volunteer: Columbus Symphony Orchestra Musicians

The Columbus Symphony Orchestra is currently seeking volunteer musicians to join our ensemble! We are especially in need of the following instruments: violin, viola, cello, bass, oboe, english horn, bassoon, french horn, harp, and percussion. Pianists who have an interest in playing with an orchestra can also contact us and we would love to have them join us when we perform music that requires a piano part. We do not require auditions or membership fees for musicians to come and play with us.

We meet for rehearsal most Tuesday evenings from 7-9pm in the band room at Central Middle School (enter through Door 6) and perform five concerts per season (October through June). Rehearsals begin in late August/ early September and end in early June. There is a break during the summer months and in December between our annual Holiday Concert and the New Year holiday. 

The CSO is a volunteer-run non-profit community orchestra whose musicians range from intermediate to advanced in skill. Our musicians range from high school students to retirees. The CSO is a full orchestra, which means we have strings, winds, brass, and percussion who play with us. We perform classical and pops music. Some examples of composers we've played this past season include: George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Dame Ethel Smyth, Scott Joplin, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Johannes Brahms, Igor Stravinksy, W.A. Mozart, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
