I sing and play guitar at Amazing Place during the summers around once a week. It’s an amazing experience. Staff is super helpful and friendly when it comes to scheduling and logistics. The participants are a joy. They are always so happy to see me, and they sing along and are just overall lovely to be around. Overall, volunteering at Amazing Place is a wonderful and rewarding experience.
