The GCA Board of Directors is an all-volunteer group of community leaders that guides and supports the girls and programs of GCA, a Michigan non-profit organization, founded in1979. They hold a one-hour meeting a month and its often via Zoom.
As interest continues to skyrocket in the Girls Choral Academy among a new generation by expanding our choirs into more schools, growing and diversifying our choirs and concert audiences, we are seeking additional board members and committee volunteers to help us expand our community of support and our public profile. This is an exciting, hands-on opportunity for people who wish to bring their love of music & youth to a wider audience in West Michigan!
