MISSION

A Place in the Choir

The mission of the Vocalis Youth Choir is to educate young people in the art of choral music while providing opportunities for personal and creative growth, youth leadership, and community engagement.

Our name, Vocalis, translates to “having a voice” in Latin. We believe that developing one’s voice as a young person is an important part of growing up and learning about oneself. The VYC strives to help all children and young people to find their voice, both as individuals and as choristers.

Youth Leadership

We offer many opportunities for choristers to hold leadership positions — within the choirs, as advisors to the Board, and more broadly within the community.

Community Engagement

We believe that a non-profit can give back to its community in many ways. We are committed to donating proceeds from our concerts whenever possible, engaging in service days in our community, and developing partnerships with other non-profit organizations in our area.
