Thank You Volunteers!
Minnesota Bluegrass would not exist without the talent, dedication, and commitment of our volunteers. We only have a handful of part time staff members – almost everything we do is accomplished by volunteers. Service to the organization is not only fun, it’s a great way to connect with other people who share your love of the music. Thank you volunteers for everything you do for Minnesota Bluegrass!

Here's What Our Volunteers Have to Say About MBOTMA
"Taking part in the creation of events like this, I began to appreciate the festivals on a much more intricate level. I began to connect with them as I helped care for them. I became invested in the success not only of the festival but also in the MBOTMA organization. I knew I was hooked when I began using “we” instead of the more formal “MBOTMA” or “they.” I love taking time to be bigger in this musical world and help bluegrass play on, in my own way!" - Kristina Hess
"It's fun to volunteer and to meet like minded people and talk music all day." - Vicki Andersen
"I’ve made friends and met a lot of lovely people who are committed to community service/volunteerism. Working for MBOTMA has presented one new experience after another, and they’ve all been great opportunities for both personal and
professional growth." - Vidya Neni
"It’s a great organization, and
I’m just trying to do my part to
help out! How has being a
volunteer impacted you? It has
been great getting a chance to meet all of the different folks
involved with MBOTMA and
being a small part of this great
organization." - Adam Kiesling
"It is great working with the diverse group of volunteers. I have met many new friends while doing volunteer jobs in MBOTMA. Being part of this Association has taught me the value of participation. I have learned to speak up and give my view." - Mary McSorley
