Krawitz’s work places great value on active citizenship and community engagement. His record of nonprofit leadership includes multiple Vice President roles with the Colorado State Music Teachers Association and service as a board member of the International Martinů Circle. He contributes to the professional development of fellow music teachers through regular master class teaching, competition adjudication and seminars for local music teacher associations. A keynote address for the Continuums of Service Conference in Denver explored the possible guises that community engagement can take in music academia.
During his time as interim Associate Dean at the University of Northern Colorado, Krawitz initiated and co-chaired the College of Performing and Visual Arts’ Racial Equity Task Force to achieve substantive progress towards diversity, equity and inclusion across the institution.
Krawitz was part of the inaugural Greeley Multicultural Festival, which grew out of a partnership between the UNC School of Music and the Greeley Refugee Center. On joining UNC, he initiated the Collegiate Chapter of the Music Teachers National Association. As faculty mentor of this organization, he supported student engagement with the residents in assisted living facilities in Greeley, Colorado, and helped to enhance collaboration between the university community and the wider community of music teachers and students in Greeley.
