Job description
The Melody Project is seeking motivated students to serve as Chapter Founders for a youth-led, international, published, IRB-backed, UN-affiliated 501(c)(3) focused on reducing loneliness among older adults through intergenerational programming.
As a Chapter Founder, you will launch and lead a local chapter in your community, partnering with a nearby senior living facility to organize and facilitate monthly sessions combining live musical performance, creative activities, collaborative storytelling, and engagement.
This is a leadership-intensive role offering both community impact and academic enrichment. You will:
Establish and manage a student-led chapter at their school or in their community
Coordinate with local senior living facilities and organize weekly programming
Lead and facilitate sessions focused on music, creativity, and connection
Recruit and manage a team of student volunteers
Contribute to the development and implementation of program evaluation frameworks
As The Melody Project works in collaboration with postdoctoral researchers, Chapter Founders will also have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing, peer-reviewed research on community-based approaches to healthy aging, gaining exposure to interdisciplinary work at the intersection of leadership, community service, public health, aging, psychology, music, or research. No prior musical or volunteer experience is required!
Volunteer hours/certificates are provided for NHS and requirements of the like, and Chapter Founders will receive mentorship and support throughout the process of launching and sustaining their chapter. Founders who are the first chapter founders in their respective states/countries will have the opportunity to gain the title of state/country founding chapter.
