Annapolis, MD - The Arc Central Chesapeake Region, in partnership with Americorps and the national 911 Project, is helping to bring awareness to how we as citizens can help each other in a crisis situation. The simple message to our community is that everyone has the capacity to help! The Arc, in partnership with Americorps and the 911 Project, will be holding an interactive tent at the First Sunday Arts Festivals in June, July, & August with the theme "You Are the Help Until Help Arrives." Visitors to our tent will be given the opportunity to answer the question - "How could I help others?" by drawing or painting a picture that illustrates their answer. For example, calling 911 or giving someone a hug! The artwork will be saved and printed on posters to distribute throughout the community.
As a volunteer, you will be assisting our participants with the simple art project! All materials and instruction will be provided, and everyone of all ability levels are encouraged to participate! Please indicate your interest in volunteering by using this Training Registration Link! or reach out to project coordinator, Deena Kilmon, dkilmon@thearcccr.org.
