Jazz Pensacola can only deliver programs and continue its mission of supporting jazz through the efforts of its active members. Too often, the same small group of people are repeatedly called on for help.
If you want to assist, look over the following list of opportunities, and let us know what interests you.
Helping out with Jazz Pensacola events is a great way to have fun and interact with many nice people who are Jazz Pensacola members, as well as the jazz-loving public. You can email us at [email protected], or call the office at (850) 433-8382 to discuss.
