Bay Area Youth Ballet is looking for affiliates to get involved with our Friends and Family Volunteer Guild (FFVG). It really does take a village! Volunteers are sorted into “Committees” led by a Coordinator. Volunteers can help with a particular production or for the full 24/25 BAYB Season (Aug-Jun).
Any FFVG members who work in a backstage capacity will need to clear a background check and/or livescan.
