We need a volunteer for the ‘Velvet Vocals’ singing workshop

StarJam runs performing arts workshops for young people with disabilities in singing, dance, guitar and drumming that each require a dedicated volunteer to help supervise and support the young people involved.  The ‘Velvet Vocals’ volunteer is responsible for:

• Opening and securing the venue
• Encouraging StarJam culture and values in the workshop
• Ensuring the safety of the participants
• Providing regular workshop feedback to StarJam staff
• Taking part in occasional StarJam celebrations and meetings
• Generally having a fun time with the kids. 

This workshop is held on Thursday nights during the school terms from 6.30pm to 8pm, at the Mt Albert Senior Citizens Hall, Cnr New North Road & Wairere Avenue, Mt Albert.  This position is best suited to someone who can commit to regular involvement.
