About Me: I am just one of many motivated young(er) adults in the metro Detroit region interested in renewing the spirit of the city and the surrounding region. I also hope to help out individuals in the area, as so many have given to me in the past. When I'm not working job 1, job 1A, running for my health and my CE project, or sleeping, I enjoy taking orders from my cat Fitch, spending time with my amazing girlfriend, wonderful family, and great friends. A nice book, round of golf, or fun game to play don't hurt either.
PROJECT SUMMARY
In Michigan there are approximately 15,000 homeless children. The average homeless child is 7 years old. The Coalition on Temporary Shelter (COTS) not only provides emergency shelter and transitional housing but also comprehensive support services for the homeless and at-risk population of Detroit. This includes day care facilities at the COTS Bright Beginnings Child Development Center, which also serves children of low-income families. This project funds five 45-minute sessions of music therapy for 20 children who attend the Bright Beginnings center. Through musical play, music therapists encourage children's musical, cognitive, social and emotional development. The Music Therapy program is administered by highly qualified therapists at the Michigan State University Community Music School. Join with COTS to give children from at-risk populations the opportunity to learn and grow with music.
