There are a lot of chores to do there and only a few volunteers.  The 

animals have to be cared for whether volunteers show up or not, and 

many of the current volunteers are seniors.  They often find it difficult 

to stay to a regular schedule.  Most of the chores involve cleaning and 

washing, not the most exciting type of chore, but one that is required 

daily.  Dog walking would also be helpful.

Have you ever wanted to volunteer with teens and young adults with 

special needs? Do you have a desire to help others? If so, this could be 

a great opportunity for you. This group helps teens with special needs 

(such as autism) learn the dynamics of building friendships, social skills 

and self‐expression through fresh and creative avenues. Drawing on 

peers and professionals from the music community, this group 

experiences music recording, instrument exploration, improvisational 

songwriting, drumming and other projects based on the interests and 

needs of the group. This pilot program will involve a total of 6 jam 

sessions, and volunteers (peer mentors) must be able to attend all six 

sessions to sign up. Each Jam Session will feature a special “rock star” 

guest musician and will be facilitated by board‐certified music 

therapists. Peer mentor will help nurture inclusion opportunities for 

this special group. Each peer mentor will be paired with a teen as a 

buddy for the duration of the six sessions and must attend a 

mandatory training session prior to the first group.  This opportunity 

will be once a month on Wednesdays from 7:30‐8:30pm starting in the 

fall of 2012.
