Tutor Program
Choristers are provided tutors for assistance in work areas that seem to be falling. Our Education Director is responsible for securing all grade reports from the choristers to assure that they are maintain substantial grades in school. If they are falling in any subject immediate help is brought in for that chorister.

Each month in addition to the music that the choir learns and performs, a “subject” matter is selected and the staff takes time to provide guidance and discipline in that field of study during the three hour rehearsal.

Community Volunteer Program
Each chorister is expected to perform 30 hours of volunteer time annually. Our volunteer Community Service Coordinator is very connected to the community and keeps our organization busy volunteering and assuring that the choristers have the adequate opportunities to meet the required volunteer hours.
