Our mandate is to support the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and Winspear through outreach, ambassadorship, and sharing feedback on Winspear and ESO events and concerts from the lens of the next generation of Winspear patrons.

The YLC works on a variety of projects including planning and hosting events, promoting concerts, advocating for the needs and perspectives of young people, and more. Members also have an opportunity to participate in activities that are part of the general volunteer program, such as volunteering at concerts and supporting special events.

YLC members will also have the opportunity to log their volunteer hours and earn free tickets to concerts!
