Mentoring Leadership Team Application

PING Mentoring Leadership Team Application

PING relies on student musicians to help run our PING Partners and NextNote Mentoring Programs. These leaders help recruit student mentors, support mentors throughout their volunteer service, are mentors themselves and assist with events. PING is looking for Oak Park and River Forest High School musicians with at least one year of experience mentoring with PING who are interested in taking their leadership skills to the next level.
