 VOLUNTEER

 OPPORTUNITIES!!!

Please join us, participate in, or facilitate our new workshops:

·  Spiritual Discussion on Saturdays at 3:00pm:

   This forum is a journey in discovering one’s spiritual center and developing personal connections with others.

·  Bingo, Chess, & Games Workshop on Saturdays at 4:00pm:

It’s Bingo-Time!  The strategy and techniques of chess is discussed and tournaments are held.  The instruction of the game carries over into considering life choices while our clients are learning specific decision-making skills.  The Chess Workshop began in 2005 and has sparked the interests of many of our guests who now play chess nightly before dinner.  Additional games are played like Dominoes, Checkers, Trivial Pursuit, Othello, and several card games.  This creative program encourages dialogue and increased the social interactions between our guests and volunteers.
  

·  Music & Movement Sessions on Saturdays at 5:00pm:

Music is played for guests prior to and during Saturday dinner, which includes Rhythm & Blues, Rock, Ragtime, Rap, Opera, Classical, Gospel, and more.  Professional musicians and choirs also perform.  Guests are encouraged to share their musical talents and perform, too.  The music and song inspire dance and movement.  Additionally, Tai-Chi and Yoga sessions are led by certified instructors who conduct weekly instruction that is suitable for beginning students.  Participants are introduced to various cultural expressions, rhythms, motions, and different modes of music.  The focus of movement is to increase body awareness, learn basic postures, and practice therapeutic breathing.  These sessions help our guests with relaxation and enjoyment.
