Help Shape the Future of LEGATO

LEGATO is powered by volunteers. Every project we deliver, every partnership we build, and every opportunity we create for LGBTQ+ choirs across Europe happens because people choose to share their time, skills and passion with our community.

 

Whether you're an experienced leader, a passionate organiser, a communicator, fundraiser, musician, advocate, or simply someone who cares about LGBTQ+ choirs, we'd love to hear from you.

Join the LEGATO Board

The LEGATO Board provides leadership, strategic direction and oversight for our organisation. Board members help guide our priorities, support our volunteers, represent our members, and ensure that LEGATO continues to grow and thrive. Based on the role description, board members help shape strategy, oversee governance and finances, support fundraising and partnerships, and act as ambassadors for the organisation. 

 

You do not need previous board experience to apply.

 

We're looking for people who care about our mission, can work collaboratively, and are willing to contribute their ideas, skills and experience to our European LGBTQ+ choral community.

Why join the LEGATO Board?

Real Impact

Guide the strategic direction and financial viability of an international non-profit with a rich 25-year legacy.

​

Vibrant Community

Connect and collaborate closely with a diverse, global network of queer choirs, musicians, stakeholders, and allies.

Growth & Peer Support

Develop your leadership skills through hands-on experience, collaborative knowledge-sharing, and peer-to-peer mentorship.

What is the commitment?

Board members are expected to commit around 10 hours per month, including online meetings, preparation, committee work and supporting LEGATO activities throughout the year.

​

The role typically includes:

  • Around four online board meetings each year

  • One in-person board meeting during LEGATO Academy

  • Participation in at least one working group or committee

  • Acting as an ambassador for LEGATO within our network and beyond

  • Supporting the development of the organisation and its future direction

We particularly encourage applications from:

  • Trans and non-binary people

  • People of colour

  • Members from Southern, Central and Eastern Europe

  • People whose experiences and perspectives are currently underrepresented within our leadership

LEGATO is strongest when our leadership reflects the diversity of our community.
