This project is based in central New Jersey. We run a thriving music and theater Arts school with my family and some really great young arts educators. We help children in our community develop confidence by running acting and music programs throughout the year and in the summer four fully-staged youth musical theater plays.
My partner Is a professional web designer, digital Marketing specialist and photographic artist and essayist who exhibits locally. Support is needed here also.
in addition to the music school, we run a African American museum involved in history reclamation, telling lost stories, and creating a shared and equitable future.
At times, but not since the pandemic, we are also responsible for running a music festival with extraordinary local bands to raise money for youth suicide prevention efforts and creating mental health programming for the community.
As you can see, we are quite busy doing great work. It’s quite a whirlwind! We need lots of help around the house, around the school and with our non-profits. We value volunteers that are excited by these learning opportunities and are willing to roll up there sleeves and get to work. I am the mother of grownups and we love to meet people from other cultures, build lasting relationships and help mentor and share experiences that make life better. We live in New Jersey (during the week) and in are occasionally Brooklyn, NY (on weekends.)
We are looking for enthusiastic, kind and hardworking travelers who will share their culture, cuisine and spirit and help out our efforts along this journey.
