Board Leadership

Heartland Youth Choir believes in the power of a local nonprofit to positively impact the lives of children through music. Our performance-based program develops both musical literacy and character in a diverse community of young singers.

Our Board of Directors provides strategic leadership, governance, and community support to help HYC grow and thrive. Board members serve three-year terms, meet monthly, and support the organization through their time, expertise, and financial commitment.

If you are interested in serving on the Board of Directors, please contact office@heartlandyouthchoir.org to learn more.
