The Fort Worth Youth Orchestra Parents' Guild was created and organized in November of 1971 by the FWYO Board of Directors for the purpose of providing volunteer support for FWYO activities. Support activities include:

​

• Volunteerism for FWYO activities

• Organization of Special Events to benefit the FWYO

• Organization of hospitality events for FWYO musicians

• Senior Scholarships and Support​

​

The Parents' Guild Meetings are typically held once a month (except December and March), during the rehearsal season. Currently, meetings are being held in person and via Zoom.  Details will be emailed and posted in advance of each meeting.

​

Membership is encouraged for ALL families in our program. Yearly Dues start at $30 and can be paid online through FWYO’s website.
