TAP for Life Nursing Home Performances
the problem:
Many teens want to volunteer their time to a worthy cause but at the same time have it be something they enjoy doing. This organization is trying to provide artistic teens with great opportunities to help people in their community such as underprivileged children, the elderly, sick children, etc.

15why it's important:
Our passion is dancing and performing. We want to make people happy and entertain those who need a little bit of happiness and song. Many of the elderly living in these facilities have few visitors. They really enjoy having young people come perform for them and talk to them. Some of the elderly tell us stories about the things they enjoyed when they were young. Young people are the future of our world, but the elderly are our history and it is important to listen to them.
the plan of action:
During the past 6 months, our group has done 6 performances in elderly community centers, assisted living facilities and nursing homes. Our plan is to continue these visits on a regular basis.
how you can get involved:
If you know of any organization that would be interested in having us perform or teach dance (tap, salsa, hip-hop, jazz, ballet, modern) please send us the contact information.

That's a great thing!!!how would I get started in a small town?I want to take out my time to help with kids that have autism!!let them come out in our local town and paint and play games just to give the parents a break and help!!
Very Awesome Idea! Good luck!
Thank You.
Well first you would need to get an adult to come and help out just to make sure there are no mistakes. Then you would need to contact a location and make sure they are willing to have you come. Set up a time and date that would be good for the location, the kids and you. To make sure the kids have a good time, bring a lot of activities for them. You should probably ask the parents of the kids if you should look out for anything so the kids are safe. Sounds like a good idea and hopefully my comment helped. Good Luck.
