The John Sudol Studio is proud to be giving back to the community. We created “Give A Hand” with the goal of using our resources and strengths to foster connect ions with those in need.
CLASSES IN EXCHANGE FOR VOLUNTEER WORK
Our volunteer program invites individuals to “earn” free classes by donating time at Project Angel Food, a daily meal program for people with HIV, AIDS and other serious illnesses. Volunteer opportunities with other community programs will be added over time.
The program will be made available to 2 commercial students and 2 on-camera audition students per session. For every 5 hours of service, one free 3-hour class will be earned. A qualifying student can earn credits for single classes or, to earn enough service credits for an entire session of 8 classes, a student would commit to 40 volunteer hours over the course of 8 weeks. Volunteer work can be done on a daily basis, or in blocks of time – all based on a student’s availability and the needs of the organization to which service will be given.
By offering classes in exchange for volunteer time, we’re accomplishing three goals. First, students will benefit from the experience of helping others. Second, much needed assistance will be provided to worthy causes. And third, students who may not be in a financial position to take classes will be afforded that opportunity.
“I believe that this work is an important aspect of personal and professional development for actors. Being of service to the community is a great source of inspiration and connection with the human condition. For those we serve, this understanding translates to a deep sense of joy and caring in their lives.”
It’s our hope that this project will be contagious, and that other acting coaches and performing arts teachers will join us in these programs. The greater and more diverse the volunteer force, the more we can all expand the capacity and level of contribution to the community.
If you’re interested in being a part of this program, please contact the Studio and let us know. And if you’re an industry professional that would like to join us in the volunteer program, we’d love to hear from you.
