Needs From: United Way of Utah County

We’re looking for passionate, positive volunteers to give one-on-one music lessons during the 2025-2026 school year! Music has the power to boost confidence, spark creativity, and open up new opportunities, especially when shared by a kind and encouraging mentor. We offer piano, violin, and guitar lessons to kids and adults at the South Franklin Community Center in Provo. Private music lessons are one of our most popular programs, so we need as much help as we can get!

UPDATE: We have met our needs for violin and piano but could use a few more guitar teachers. If you are interested in volunteering next semester, please still reach out and we will put you on our list. Thank you!

Time commitment:

Once a week from September 2025 - April 2026You can take on as many students as you'd like, each lesson is 30 minutes. We schedule them back to back for you.Most lessons take place after school in the afternoons and evenings, but some adult students may be available during the day. We will match you with students based on your availability.

Volunteer expectations:

No prior teaching experience required, but you should be comfortable teaching the basics (most of our students are brand new beginners) Commit to coming weeklyCommunicate in advance if conflicts arise.Help prepare your student for our April music recital.

Help others discover the joy of music—you’ll make more of a difference than you know!

We’re looking for volunteers to provide childcare during some of our classes, and we’d love your help!

You don’t need to be available for every class; we simply want to share all the days and times where extra support would make a difference.

Many parents who attend adult classes worry their child might interrupt or that they won’t be able to focus on the information. By volunteering, you’ll give these parents peace of mind and the chance to fully participate. Your time makes it possible for families to learn, grow, and thrive.

Below is the list of classes where we need assistance. Thank you for considering this meaningful way to support our community.

Mondays from 6 to 7 p.m. during the community connections class.Wednesday from 5 to 6 p.m. during English class.Wednesday from 6 to 7 p.m. during Salud Metal class.

If you are interested in volunteering any of those days please email us at southfranklin@unitedwayuc.org or call us at 801-691-5347. Because we need to run a background check, we can't accommodate same-day volunteers. Please contact us to register before coming.
