Swingin’ Tern: Show your love for this vibrant contra dance by making it happen. Set up, bring baked goods, or greet guests for a small part of the night, and you can enjoy a night of free dancing. email icon

Special Concerts: The performers are special and so are the volunteers that help with the planning, the publicity and the actual night of our bigger concerts. It’s fun to rub shoulders with the performers and your Project buddies. email icon

Spring & Fall Acoustic Getaways: This event, formerly called the Folk Project Festival is our longest running program, and one of our most beloved. We’re always looking for new team members to continue the tradition. Interested? Let’s e-talk. email icon

Publicity & Web: The Project runs over 100 events a year and somebody’s gotta make sure that people actually attend!!! Members write articles, distribute publicity, create web pages, manage photos, program computers and generally get creative. You know, some really neat stuff. email icon

Horses Sing None of It TV: Our syndicated cable TV show is a blast to watch live, from behind a camera, in the studio, or at the production console. Join the crew. email icon

Evenings of Music: This members-only party is a monthly gathering where music is shared, munchies are eaten, and Project friends meet, greet and socialize. If you have the right kind of house for this kind of party, you may enjoy hosting it. email icon
