Banding Together Our Jam Session program has approximately 20 teens and young adults at each location. Each of the individuals we work with has unique learning, social and sensory challenges. Participants range in age from 13-28 and have a variety of special needs including autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, William’s Syndrome and Down Syndrome. The purpose of the group is to provide a once a month music therapy group and mentoring program for 20 youth with special needs through eight one-hour music therapy groups (aka as “jam sessions”) at a local community venue. This program was developed to help teens with special needs, such as autism, learn the dynamics of building friendships, social skills, and self-expression through fresh and creative avenues. Drawing on peers and professionals from the community, this group experiences music recording, instrument exploration, improvisational songwriting, drumming and other projects based on the interests of the group.

Lex Gillette This is an amazing opportunity to work with a world record holder and paralympic champion!
Hi there! My name is Lex Gillette and I am a totally blind track and field athlete who is training for the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games. I am a four-time Paralympic medalist, a three-time world champion in the long jump, and the current world record holder in the long jump with a leap of 22 feet and 1 inch. My ultimate goal is to make a fifth consecutive Paralympic Games team and bring back the gold from Tokyo next summer. My training has picked up tremendously and I need your help! I am in need of assistance from students who are highly motivated, creative, and who have a keen understanding of social media platforms, specifically Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Hardly anyone knows what the Paralympics is, and hardly anyone sees blind athletes train and compete. A lot of people think I live a lonely life because of the blindness, but they are sadly mistaken. I want to use my platform to increase awareness of the Paralympic games within the United States in addition to showing the world that I live a pretty awesome life despite being blind. I need students who would be willing to: •Attend a training session with me in Chula Vista and capture content in the form of photo and video •Share training content on my Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook •Capture content surrounding my lifestyle and include the various accommodations that I use to tackle daily tasks •Share lifestyle content on Instagram, twitter, and Facebook The main objective here is to increase awareness surrounding the Paralympic Games and to showcase ability, and not disability. To learn more about who I am, please visit www.lexgillette.com. If you’re interested in assisting me, please email me at lex@lexgillette.com. Let’s have some fun!” Thanks!Lex Gillette World Record Holder, Paralympic Medalist & World Champion No Need for Sight When You Have a Vision® Website Twitter Facebook Instagram -

Sports for Exceptional Athletes SPORTS for Exceptional Athletes (S4EA). The organization serves children (age 5 and up) and adults. Volunteers are needed as coaches each sports season. You don't need any prior experience in the sport or working with persons with developmental disabilities, just a desire to help. Volunteers act as scorekeepers and timers in team sports and assistant coaches (volunteers) help the athletes under the direction of the head coach.
The website is very easy to navigate and provides links for volunteering.
