NEMPAC forming Band of Volunteers

                A non-profit, community-based organization, North End Music and Performing Arts Center (NEMPAC) is forming a “Band of Volunteers” program to assist with the many programs, events and activities they present each year.

                NEMPAC is also seeking volunteer ideas and areas of interest from the core team that will be the foundation for creating and enhancing the success of all the groups events through volunteer contributions.

                Volunteers combined talents and efforts will continue to build NEMPAC’s relationships in the community and influence the lives of so many through arts programming.

                NEMPAC, a dedicated and professional neighborhood group, could use some assistance with the many programs they coordinate throughout the year.

                Give something back to the community… Volunteer some time to this proven community organization.
