Call for Volunteers
Young at Heart Theatre is looking for older adults to help with story-gathering exercises during their spring tour from March 31- May 3rd.
“We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who love to chat and hear other’s stories, who have a little time on their hands, and enjoy new experiences. The purpose of this project is to assist with our upcoming tour with a show that deals with the subject of ageism. Each volunteer will visit a venue or community care facility before a show to engage with the residents. They will ask them about their own experiences in life as they perhaps dealt with ageism. They may also hear stories of empowerment and determination, which may have helped get them through a difficult time” says Artistic Producer Catherine O’Brien.
The volunteers will have an orientation session before going out to the venues. A car is essential for this project. Each session lasts only 30 minutes, but you may be asked to visit several venues throughout the month, if you are able. Volunteers from all three counties are encouraged to apply.
Mileage will be covered, and volunteers will receive an honorarium.
Deadline to register is March 14, 2025.
