Join Our Board of Directors!

Are you looking for ways to serve our Northside community? Join us as a member of the Board of Directors at Hopewell Music Cooperative North!

This is a great opportunity to give back to our Northside neighbors, build community connections, learn new skills, and support Hopewell’s efforts to improve access to music education in North Minneapolis. We encourage people of all backgrounds to apply, including:

• People of Color
• LGBTQ+ Individuals
• People with Disabilities
• Veterans

We're looking for board members who have interest or experience in:

• Music as a Performer, Artist, or Listener 
• Marketing and Communications
• Legal & Human Resources
• Building Community Relationships

Note: To ensure the board is representative of Hopewell’s constituents and wide array of viewpoints, we are particularly interested in connecting with people who have a direct connection to North Minneapolis. 

What does it mean to serve on a board?

As a board member, you share your wisdom, time, passion, and love for empowering Northsiders of all backgrounds to express themselves creatively through music. Prior board experience is not required. 

This is a working board, where all board members are engaged in Hopewell’s work to bring music education to everyone in North Minneapolis, regardless of race, income, ability, or musical background. The board supports the Executive Director and staff in ensuring that the mission is being fulfilled through actions such as attending events, cultivating relationships or making an annual donation at an amount which is meaningful to you. Board members are fiscally, legally, and morally responsible for the organization. 

If you’d like to observe a board meeting before applying, send an email to: board@hopewellmusic.com.

This is an unpaid, volunteer position.

Time Commitment
