The Concordia Initiative: FAQs

Last month, we began work on our new project: the Concordia Initiative. Here are some FAQs about how the organization works!

What is the purpose of this project?

This organization was created to share music with those living in various centers for healthcare, such as memory care homes, hospitals, and dialysis centers, so they could feel less lonely. We plan to do this by organizing virtual concerts, or enabling musicians to submit videos of their music or messages, and then sharing them with nursing homes that we have coordinated with.

Who can become a member?

Any musician can become a member by submitting the member application!

Why should I be a member?

Membership of the Concordia Initiative comes with its perks. Firstly, you’ll be part of a big community of musicians who are interested in service and use their skills for good. This comes with great networking opportunities. Secondly, you’ll be able to apply for leadership positions and work with nursing homes in your area to involve your community as well.

What is a local liaison?

Local liaisons coordinate with facilities in their local area to get them involved with our organization. Being a liaison is an amazing leadership opportunity and a great communication experience. It’s an awesome role for those who want to go above and beyond, involving members of their community. All members can apply to be a liaison.

Are leadership roles open?

As of now, leadership roles are closed. We will open applications to involve new people in our organization soon!

Do I get service hours?

Yes, each video that a member submits gets at least half an hour of service/community work, however, this number is flexible. Leaders of our organization can get extra service hours for doing more than just submitting a video (creating social media posts, posting on social media, coordinating videos with musicians, etc.)
