Local Volunteer Opportunities
The St. Olaf Choir has long relied on volunteers in the local communities to play a role in the promotion of the concerts on tour.
If you are interested in being a part of the planning team please contact Natalie Anderson.
Below are some examples of how you can help:
Download an e-flyer and press release from Press & Media.
-
Distribute posters and flyers (created by St. Olaf) in your area
- Location examples: businesses near the concert venue, heavily traffic areas, music stores, college music buildings/student centers, music schools, coffee shops, community centers, office break rooms
-
Help identify special groups for targeted promotion
- Musical groups (e.g. youth and adult community ensembles, music academies, music clubs)
- Non-musical groups (e.g. Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis)
-
Ask churches to promote to their congregation
- List in Sunday bulletin and in newsletters
- Announce during Sunday services
- Insert flyers (St. Olaf can provide) into Sunday bulletins or set a stack in high-traffic areas
-
Ask school directors to promote to their students and parents
- Directors can forward St. Olaf-created promotional emails and digital flyers
- Encourage sharing event info on social media
- Note: Student tickets are $10, and special student group pricing is available
-
Promote on social media
- Share the official Facebook event on your personal channels
- Share event information on other channels (Twitter, Instagram, etc.)
-
Promote via traditional media
- Help identify major media outlets (print, radio, TV)
- Help identify non-major media (local papers, etc.)
- Contact outlets if you have a personal connection that would yield a better result than a “cold call” from St. Olaf
