Volunteer Needed to Work with Special Needs Student for Pablove Shutterbugs in NOLA

Save to Favorites

We are looking for volunteers who have experience working with kids with special needs to help us teach the art of photography to children and teens living with cancer!

The mission of The Pablove Foundation is to fund pediatric cancer research and advances in treatment, educate and empower cancer families, and improve the quality of life for children living with cancer through hospital play, music and arts programs.

Pablove Shutterbugs, a program of The Pablove Foundation, teaches children living with cancer to develop their creative voice through the art of photography. In an educational setting, the five-week program instructs children to tell their story through photographs using perspective, light, composition, and technique. Our Shutterbugs are taught basic principles of photography while learning on digital point-and-shoot cameras provided by Pablove. The cameras are theirs to keep at the end of the course.

Specialized volunteers should commit to all five classes during the Spring session (classes are held on Saturdays from 9:30am-12:30pm - March 29, April 5, April 12, April 26, and May 3). Your total time commitment will be approximately 15-20 hours.

You will be supervised and trained by a lead Teaching Artist. Previous experience with children, in arts education, or bilingual skills a plus. All volunteers will undergo a background check. This is open to all ages/backgrounds, but is a great opportunity for students looking to fulfill service hours or gain hands-on experience in a classroom environment!
