About a month ago, I found out about an organization here called the Nosara Performing Arts Academy (NPAA). Since then, I have started working as a volunteer teacher for several classes. I assistant teach two theater classes on Thursdays and I teach a group voice class on Tuesdays. This has really put me outside of my comfort zone. I had never taught voice before coming here, and teaching it to a group of teenagers is pretty scary. I am really enjoying myself, though. I love sharing the arts with others, and this is a great opportunity for me to work with a different community of people (even though most go to Del Mar).
This demonstrates Service and Learning Outcome 3: Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a fieldwork experience. I set this volunteer opportunity up pretty much by myself. After a teacher suggested the NPAA, I contacted them and started working there every week.
