At Tees Music Alliance we recognise the value of volunteers and as such we run regular induction/training courses for potential volunteers. The course covers all areas of TMA work and following completion, placements will be organised.

Volunteering with TMA offers a unique opportunity to gain real insight into the music industry as well as opportunity to gain new skills. We are looking for switched on, interested and keen individuals who want to get on and don't mind getting stuck into whatever comes along! In return for all your hard work we will reimburse your travel expenses, provide support and supervision within your role and provide opportunity for progression routes into the music industry.

We welcome people of any age to get involved in volunteering and are eager for a broad range of people to be involved in the running of TMA and its events.

As of 2008, our volunteer activity comes under the umbrella of THE CULTURE RETREAT - please click on the logo below for more information.

We also recognise that rewarding and enjoyable work placements are rare; even rarer are opportunities within our specialist environment - the world of rock and roll!  We are keen to open our doors to enthusiastic, committed young people - who may be looking for a work experience placement or even just some experience of working within our industry.  School based work experience enquiries should be directed in the first instance through school or the agency responsible for finding placements.

Please note - the 2007 Youth & Volunteer programme was a great success, attracting lots of interest.  The programme is now closed until March 2008 - although notes of interest and enquiries can still be directed to us.  For all other enquiries, please contact our Volunteer Development Team on 01642 633817.
