Volunteer
How you can help Sonos with your time and talent
As a volunteer for Sonos, you will have a unique opportunity to help embody the mission and values of Sonos in our outreach to an ever widening public. The need for volunteers will continue to increase, and you can be right there with us, helping to make it all happen. The better our pool of volunteers, the less time our musicians have to spend worrying about the nuts and bolts of the organization, and the more focus they can put into making better and better music.
Please take a look at the list of tasks, below, and let us know which of these roles interest you. Also, remember that whatever else you might do for Sonos, one especially effective way of helping us is to tell your friends, relatives, and co-workers about us, and invite them to a concert.
