Help for Families in Need:
It is important to Shallaway Youth Choir that our program is accessible to as many children and youth as possible. Therefore, we are thrilled to offer a Bursary Program.

Please reach out to executivedirector@shallaway.ca for more information. We value discretion and privacy. We know these are indeed challenging times for parents, families and our communities.  

What does Tuition Cover:

Your tuition pays for your singer’s membership in Shallaway Youth Choir. These monies are used to pay a portion of the lease on our rehearsal space, retreats and workshops, music library, director salaries, website hosting, software licensing, copyright licensing, printing, and all the administrative costs required to run a large organization.

What about fundraising commitments?

Shallaway Youth Choir is a registered charitable organization that requires annual funding to support its programs. Although tuition covers approximately 40% of our annual budget, Shallaway Youth Choir must secure additional funding to help continue its work. Parents and choristers are encouraged to participate in our annual fundraising efforts. Your participation allows us to provide unique music education experiences for children and youth of all ages and ability levels, to help families in need with need-based scholarships, to provide exceptional music education programs and most importantly, to positively impact the lives of thousands of young people.
