25 Days Of Holiday Volunteering — Day 21: Creative Arts Therapy

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — 'Tis the season for giving back to your community. There are a number of ways that you and your family can help others through the holidays.

Every day through Christmas, Patch will be highlighting a way you can provide compassion and resources to those in need.

Volunteer New York! makes it easy to find ways to help — through donations, supporting nonprofits and even volunteering from home.

Today’s opportunity is Saturday Creative Arts Therapy Volunteers for Heartsong Inc. The organization provides a unique program of art, dance movement and music therapy for individuals with disabilities. Volunteers are needed to assist with the Saturday program as participants build up their social skills, language, self-esteem, fine motor skills and more. Volunteers will help with set-up and clean-up and work directly with participants to engage them in therapy sessions under supervision. For more information, or to express interest, go here.
