Community Chorus Project (CCP) is a community/university arts initiative, supported by a grant from the Institute for the Arts and Humanities. CCP runs youth music programming in Kenan Music Building every Saturday, in partnership with the Department of Music at UNC-CH.  As part of our work, we commission arrangements of songs for our high school chorus to sing.  Last summer, our students recorded two songs at Manifold Studios – R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” and Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.” R.E.M. endorsed the arrangement and performance by our chorus and put our filmed version onto their website and Facebook page – leading to 25,000 views. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy_iZegvRYU 

Further information about this unique music program can be found at www.communitychorusproject.org

The part-time Program Assistant will support the director in the coordination of a year-round chorus of 75 middle and high school students, as well as summer programs. This is a 6-month contract position with possibility for extension and is ideal for someone who wants to gain additional experience in the arts.

The ideal candidate has 2-3 years proven administrative experience. Strong technical ability required – must be proficient with Google apps, WordPress, and Excel – and have strong experience with data management. Working knowledge of Quickbooks preferred.
This position requires a strong eye for detail, experience with student registration and the ability to work independently and problem solve. Experience with arts programming for youth and young adults preferred.

Other tasks include supporting the chorus teachers in the distribution of music, maintaining communication with parents regarding changes to the program, regular updates to the website, marketing support, and planning for end of semester concerts and events.
