Description
The Miracle Project is always looking for volunteers - or, as we call them, "co-actors." Co-actors are peer role models - participating alongside those with autism and other disabilities serving as a friend, classmate, and creative partner.
The Miracle Project is a fully inclusive theater, film, and expressive arts program focused on building communication, self-esteem, and life skills for neurodivergent and disabled individuals. Through shared experiences with peers and volunteers, individuals with diverse backgrounds, communication styles, and abilities find their voice, develop their talents, and rehearse for life.
We welcome co-actors of all ages, backgrounds, and encourage siblings and similarly-aged relatives of program participants to volunteer as well.
The Miracle Project is seeking volunteers for the following ongoing opportunities. Programs take place in-person at the Wallis Annenberg Center for Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.
