Bio

I am a 13 year old drummer in a rock and roll band. I go to an all girls private school that supports Free the Children, a youth helping youth organization, building schools in Africa. My sister is also a musician and together we want to form an organization to teach under privaliged children how to play musical instruments. Music lessons today are getting very expensive, and for children who are just getting by with their basic needs. We will get high musical high school student volunteers to be the music teachers with my sister and I, and together we will do weekly work shops with these children so that they can follow their dreams, even if they don't have the money.

Goals

  • I have an idea for a venture but no team
  • It is our duty to make the world a better place. I want to start that in my own community, of Vancouver, Canada. By getting a team full of teens we can start an organization to help children and teans less fortunate than ourselves.

Interests

Arts and Culture, Children, Community Organizing, Cultural Awareness, Discrimination, Education, Environment, Higher Education, Human Rights, Mentoring, Music, Poverty, School Community Development, Sports and Games, Youth Empowerment

hey sagestar! welcome to genv.net. It seems like you're looking for help in recruiting volunteers. I think that if you tell your friends about what you are trying to do - which sounds really worthwhile by the way, people would be interested enough to help. Don't think of it as having people doing a favor for you, think of it as all of you doing a favor for your community good luck and let me know if you need any help!
