If you're a musician, music enthusiast or music therapist:
We are looking for a volunteer to lead a monthly drum/music circle for those affected by cancer. The group would be offered during the week (Monday through Friday), day and time are flexible.
This drum/music circle has a great impact on our patients, helping improve their physical and emotional well-being and allows them to express themselves even when treatment affects their ability to speak.
You can make a difference!

Mission Statement
The BOLD Living Program is a free, wellness and support program that was launched to meet the needs of those affected by cancer in the Bronx. The program grew out of an ongoing psychosocial needs assessment of cancer patients where patients have asked for mind-body programs, support, physical fitness/nutrition workshops, creative arts programs, and health education classes. In response to these needs, our BOLD Wellness Workshop hosts over 10 free workshops per month at 4 different locations in the Bronx of the Montefiore Einstein Center for Cancer Care. Additionally, weekly counseling and support groups are offered by mental health counseling interns, and peer counseling through our BOLD Buddy Program. Everything is free, available in English and Spanish, and for anyone affected by cancer in the Bronx regardless of where they receive their medical care. Our goal is to empower through education, nurture through support, and serve through understanding our community,
