I volunteer at both YRMC and the Salvation Army and think both are truly worthwhile. But I’m an amateur musicion (cello)and would like to become involved in getting students interested in playing instruments. I was involved with the Musical Memories program last Spring and was very excited to see how enthusiastic the 5th graders I worked with were about listening to, and playing music. Any ideas??

How old do you have to be to volunteer for the Heritige Park Zoo? I am eleven years old and this really interests me for a profect at school. I know Daniel Jannone,who used to do the kids summer project there. He was my 4th grade teacher.

Morgan, I don’t know. Why don’t you give them a call. I bet they would enjoy having a young person on hand.
