Sing Songs with Children with Disabilities (No skills necessary!)

Volunteering for KEEN is fun and provides the opportunity for one-to-one work with some terrific kids and young adults with developmental and physical disabilities. At KEEN Sings, KEEN Kids learn simple songs and dance moves, play musical instruments, and become part of a group choir. Volunteers do not need any prior experience working with individuals who have disabilities -- we'll train you on your first day of participation. Volunteers don't need musical talents, either. KEEN Kids will love you just as you are! Please contact us to schedule your first volunteer session. KEEN offers opportunities for occasional participation, regular involvement, or program leadership. We also welcome volunteer groups of any size for a one-time or ongoing volunteer experience!
