Member Duties : Buffalo String Works fosters inclusive communities through the power of music. For children who, through no fault of their own, are disadvantaged both socially and academically music can be a lifeline, with a proven correlation between music study and cognitive development, especially improved language skills. Access to high quality music education is highly impactful to children in poverty. We primarily serve the at risk refugee and immigrant community in Buffalo and aim to cultivate a positive space that supports our students’ development into curious, confident individuals. BSW is seeking a VISTA to help prioritize diversity and inclusion within our student enrollment through developing community partnerships, creating culturally-responsive recruitment tools, developing a BSW Student Ambassador program, and contributing to the Teacher Training for Aspiring Music Educators of Color. The VISTA will also play key roles in marketing, fund development, and volunteer coordination.
