Support young people and be part of the local music scene.​

Harlow Rock School is led entirely by unpaid volunteers. Together, we support young people, inspire the next generation of musicians and champion the local music scene.

​We're looking for passionate, enthusiastic individuals to join us as band mentors, technicians, fundraisers, promoters and advocates. Whether you have a few hours a week or more, your time will have a real impact. ​

"The impact music can have on young people's lives is huge. That's why I volunteer, to make sure the power of local music lives on for young people in Harlow."
