Donate Your Time to be a Volunteer!
We are now seeking volunteers for our 2025 season! Read below for more information & how to apply to volunteer with UTS.
One of the reasons our organization flourishes is due to our wonderful volunteers. They play a crucial role in helping to create the endearing, heartwarming environment that Under the Spire is known for. If you have spare hours to help out or you wish to get involved on a more regular basis, we would love to hear from you. We truly value your gift of time!

Base Information
Under the Spire’s concert season runs from mid-June to mid-September, annually.
While we welcome volunteer inquiries year-round, we begin actively searching for new and returning volunteers each spring to join our Under the Spire team for the upcoming season.
A training session will take place prior to the opening of the season, and volunteer shifts will be signed up for on a monthly basis throughout the summer.
