Organization

North Sound Youth Symphony is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. Our board of directors consist of parents of current NSYS students, alumni of NSYS, and community members.

Tuition accounts for approximately 70% of our operating budget. The remainder comes from donations from concert attendees, sponsors, and businesses.

Board of Directors

NSYS is actively seeking new board members to manage the administrative support of this non-profit organization. Please contact us if you would like to serve on the NSYS Board or if you would like to volunteer to help with ongoing or occasional projects. Of particular need is a volunteer for ongoing website and social media management.
