ENGAGE: Jam Sessions - Carlsbad
HOSD.org/211sandiego., Carlsbad, California, United States, 92002
Be a mentor to 1-4 teen/young adults with special needs, such as autism, while they sing and play music. Volunteer mentors provide encouragement, model expected group behaviors, give compliments, give directions, and help their mentees build friendships and practice social skills. Mentors are important because they help the students with special needs gain social skills (e.g. learning how to make eye contact, have a conversation, have self control, etc.) that are essential to living a meaningful life in their community.No matter your level of musical experience, you'll have a great time shaking a shaker, playing a drum, signing along and much more. Before and after the group, volunteers assist with set up (unloading musical equipment, setting up chairs, music stands, music books, etc.), process with the volunteer team after (complete a journal entry about experience and rate mentee responses), and tear down (load equipment). No musical experience is required and all equipment is provided.Project Requirements & Important Notes
