Graduates of the Grand Cities Children’s Choir program have the option to serve as mentors (GGs) during their 10-12 grade years.   These students spend numerous hours volunteering their time and talents to each of the choirs.  In return, the hours can be counted towards community service on their high school transcripts.

The GGs developed their own mission statement: “We seek to share the music from our hearts, to INSPIRE individuals to bring out the music from their souls, and tohelp, encourage, and motivate them positively towards excellence.”

The goals of the mentor program are to make one-on-one connections with GCCC members; to act as musical and personal role models; to assist with rehearsals musically as section leaders, by demonstrating vocal techniques, and critical listening skills; to assist with rehearsals in business, organizational and social matters; to motivate members of the GCCC program to “Strive for Excellence”; and to be exposed to possible careers in music education.
