*Volunteer at the Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter Over Spring Break!*
****
Around town anytime between *Friday, March 15 and Monday, March 25*? Join
us at the shelter this Spring Break! Break shifts are a great way to "try
out" the shelter, so if you have friends or roommates who've been curious,
now's the time. No previous experience or training required--just a
willingness to lend a helping hand. Shifts are as short as 2 hours--shift
descriptions and map of our location are below. Please contact us at
hshs.volunteer(a)gmail.com with any questions.
Spring break shifts run from *dinner on Friday, March 15 through breakfast
on Monday, March 25*. Accordingly, that means that regular volunteers are *
not *responsible for shifts that fall in this time range--regular shifts
will end with breakfast on Friday, March 15 and resume with dinner on
Monday, March 25.

*About Us: *The Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter is the only student-run
homeless shelter in the nation, with a volunteer force of 150+. We are

Teaching Through Music

*Call for Volunteers: Teaching Through Music *
The Harvard Mobile Music Lab is looking for musicians and music-lovers to
help us expand the reach of our program. We work with teachers to provide
core subject instruction through music in local public schools. Thanks to a
grant from Harvard, we've established a collection of basic instruments
that we use to facilitate experiential learning and to render music-making
accessible to kids with no other musical outlets.
This academic year, for an hour once every few weeks, we've worked with
pre-k, third, and fourth grade classes at the Eliot School in the North
End. We just renewed our grant for the project and we're hoping to expand
our work to more schools by recruiting more collaborators from the graduate
student community.
If you're interested in joining the team or if you just want to learn more
about what we do, you can contact Louis Epstein at epstein [at]
fas.harvard.edu.
Thanks - hope to hear from you soon!
