There's an endless list of ways to volunteer at the CCJC (click on the volunteer sign-up link below for examples). Here are a few good reasons to volunteer. . .
- Make friends. Get the opportunity to meet many interesting, friendly people who are involved with the club. You'll find that our members and guests come from all walks of life, from across a wide range of professions and industries but with one important thing in common. We love traditional jazz.
- Share your talents. Opportunity to apply your knowledge, skills and experience to a good cause - preservation of traditional music.
- Develop professionally. Opportunity to build and sharpen your own professional skills and build your resume.
BE A REGULAR "JAMMER" MUSICIAN:
- Perform: Meet and perform with other like-minded musicians; share tunes; musical ideas and have a great time sharing "war stories" about the music biz. Our "jammers" come together at 1:00 p.m. every 3rd Sunday and for 2 hours, just before the featured band comes on stage, they play tune after tune in a no pressure, relaxed setting to a dancehall full of appreciative listeners and dancers.
- Network: CCJC jammers not only "jam" together, but take take their 3rd Sunday gathering time to network, introduce newcomer musicians to the club and hire each other for "gigs".
- Learn and develop: Youth musicians get to perform with and learn from those who've been around for a while and receive plenty of support while building skills and a repertoire.
OFFER YOUR BAND TO BE FEATURED ON A 3RD SUNDAY:
In support of our not-for-profit mission, featured bands typically perform for well below market rate enabling us to direct more of our dollars to operating costs and scholarships for our youth summer jazz camp.
In appreciation, the CCJC volunteer staff puts plenty of effort behind promoting the 3rd Sunday event where the band will be playing for the CCJC audienc. We provide. . .
- Marketing/Advertising exposure throughout our website and various other internet platforms where the CCJC has built and engaged fan base, and we purchase and add for the band in the American Rag Traditional Jazz Newspaper.
- Back-links to the band's website which gains the band increased web traffic from our existing fan base interested who's upcoming at the CCJC.
- A written review of the 3rd Sunday gathering which includes a review of the bands performance as well. The newsletter is mailed out monthly to our full membership and distributed at various venues where member musicians perform on a regular basis.
- ReferralsBecause we are a gathering place for some of the best musicians and bands, the community has come to know us as a resource for connecting with quality groups. We believe in helping keep our supportive musicians working. While first preference goes to bands with one or more musicians who are paid members of the CCJC, We do expand referrals out to featured bands once members' bands have been considered (become a member for full access).
- Consultation on Marketing Strategy and Tools. Some bands coming our way may need advice on getting started with internet marketing. Our in-house team has gotten pretty good at it and is glad to share what we know. Just ask us!
