Volunteer Opportunities

  • Do you have a passion for live music?
  • Are you looking for a way to give back to the Saint Louis community?
  • Are you looking for a flexible, fun and engaging volunteer opportunity?

The Gateway Festival Orchestra welcomes enthusiastic volunteers who have a love of live music and a passion for serving the people of our community. GFO volunteers bring their experience, skills, and new ideas to GFO operations. Volunteers can support the GFO mission in a variety of ways, from assisting musicians and audience members at concerts, to serving on our Board of Directors. Whether you have just a few hours to spare, or are looking for a rewarding new endeavor, there is a place for you with the GFO. Join the GFO Team! Contact us now!
