Get Involved with a Short Term or One-Time Project:

Tempo
The Tempos are a committee devoted to assisting with short term or one-time projects.  Activities occur throughout the year and may range from assembling event favors to helping set up apartments for young artists. 

Teen Tempos
With busy school schedules and participating in after-school activities, it may be difficult for teenagers to find the time to volunteer.  The Teen Tempos provide high school age students with short term or one-time projects that do not require a strict time commitment.  Volunteer hours fulfill school service requirements.  Certificates are available upon request.



Opera Theatre of Saint Louis encourages its volunteers to further their involvement by joining Friends of the Festival.
