Volunteer: Corporate/University/Community Group Service ProjectsGot a group that wants to volunteer? KEEN has opportunities on the weekends from September through June. In Montgomery County, those opportunities are mostly on Sundays at KEEN Sports for Kids, Teens or Young Adults. (Ask about other opportunities as well.) During KEEN's Sports Programs, athletes (KEEN's young people with disabilities, ages 5-25) and volunteers come together for one-to-one activities in a group setting. Together they do individual activities that are tailored solely to the needs of the athlete. They may throw a basketball or kick a soccer ball, or they may take a walk around the outdoor track. Many love to bounce on 36" balls or be pulled along the floor on a flat wheeled scooter. A group may form for Duck, Duck, Goose. The session ends with everyone coming together in a circle (although some athletes still need to run around its periphery, and that's okay) and sharing with the group what they did that day "that made them very Proud." They literally go out dancing: the Hokey Pokey for the younger kids and the Macarena for the teens and young adults. Athletes burn energy, meet and interact with new volunteers, see old friends, and then rejoin their parents, who have had some precious respite time.

Volunteer: 2025-2026 SSL Projects sponsored by The Tacy FoundationDescription 2025-2026 ongoing SSL Opportunities for youth sponsored by The Tacy Foundation Here is a list of many different In-Person and remote opportunities that you are invited to choose this school year: Find, learn, and play all styles of music that have great meaning for the seniors (songs from 1940’s to 1990’s). Bring them to senior facilities and to hospitals during the Winter season, including Holidays in December-May. Use the time you would ordinarily spend practicing your regular songs to learn at least one or two of seniors’ favorite songs. You will be really surprised by the appreciation from seniors and hospital visitors. They will smile and hum the tunes when they hear their favorite music from bygone years. Add winter and holiday repertoire to your list of music: music of their youth will be so very uplifting to them. You will be (1) performing these songs in-person, (2) and/or making a video of the songs you have learned (public domain only for videos) to place on the Playlist for hospitals. Send to: recording.thetacyfoundation@gmail.com. MCPS requires that students earn SSL hours for the time spent performing (or recording), not for the time spent practicing or rehearsing. Design Seasonal Cards for hospital patients and seniors. Make these generic to be received by any of the recipients above. Due date TBD. When we ship QR code Cards, we will place your message and card in the box for the hospitals where we play live music: Holy Cross Silver Spring, Holy Cross Germantown, Walter Reed NMMC Fisher Houses, National Institutes of Health, Suburban Hospital (Hopkins), Sibley Memorial Hospital (Hopkins). Frederick Health, Shady Grove Adventist Hospital, and Howard General Hospital (Hopkins). You will need paper and paint/crayons/colored pencils for this. Whatever art supplies you have will be fine. Make these cards generic without reference to religious belief. Hospitals request this. (1 SSL hour for 15 cards). Write to: cards.thetacyfoundation@gmail.com for information and answer to your questions.Please do not include any personal information (full name, home address, phone number, email address, etc.Make and send your music video of music (nonreligious) on YouTube. We will offer your music to the Activity Directors (of seniors facilities) as Virtual Live Performance. You are allowed to speak clearly your message to seniors: “Thank you for all that you have done for the community. I would like to play this song for you now.....” Send to recording.thetacyfoundation@gmail.com. The length of the video should be 15-20 minutes of music at least. 1 SSL hour per completed, accepted, and uploaded Video. Write (and or) illustrate a particular memorable moment when you played music at a hospital. Perhaps someone came up to you and thanked you. Maybe a family had just heard a very sad prognosis, or a family was happily bringing home a newborn baby, a family was bringing home a loved one from a hospital stay. As they always do, they stopped to hear your music. Another time, perhaps you saw people enter the lobby through the big doors and turn toward the music and sigh a deep breath of hope and courage. Write a descriptive piece on this. Holidays and birthdays are very mixed. They are markers of family traditions with joys and sorrows. Your writing may bring peace of mind to someone in a senior facility or a hospital who cannot express the sadness or the despair or the joy of a surprise visit of a loved one. Stories are the best medicine for reminding us of the inestimable value of paying forward our hope for others through music. (1 SSL hour). Send to volunteer.thetacyfoundation@gmail.com and/or thetacyfoundation@gmail.com. Please do not include any personal information (full name, home address, phone number, email address, etc.) 5. Write about your Piano Pals® or Guitar Pals® or Reading Express® Your Reflections may be about a particular life lesson that you taught this fall or last year during the holiday season. Tell about how your young student saw the world of holidays through his or her eyes. Your writing may reflect (1) a change in your idea of community service, (2) what you discovered that you did not know before you taught (Write about this in regard to the children whom you are serving), and/or (3) the importance of music in the lives of the children you are working with. It may include a particularly difficult challenge that you faced or are facing in working with children. The piece may be about how you discovered a side of yourself you had not known before these music classes.

Organization: The Tacy Foundation, Inc. Description 2025-2026 ongoing SSL Opportunities for youth sponsored by The Tacy Foundation Here is a list of many different In-Person and remote opportunities that you are invited to choose this school year: Find, learn, and play all styles of music that have great meaning for the seniors (songs from 1940’s to 1990’s). Bring them to senior facilities and to hospitals during the Winter season, including Holidays in December-May. Use the time you would ordinarily spend practicing your regular songs to learn at least one or two of seniors’ favorite songs. You will be really surprised by the appreciation from seniors and hospital visitors. They will smile and hum the tunes when they hear their favorite music from bygone years. Add winter and holiday repertoire to your list of music: music of their youth will be so very uplifting to them. You will be (1) performing these songs in-person, (2) and/or making a video of the songs you have learned (public domain only for videos) to place on the Playlist for hospitals. Send to: recording.thetacyfoundation@gmail.com. MCPS requires that students earn SSL hours for the time spent performing (or recording), not for the time spent practicing or rehearsing. Design Seasonal Cards for hospital patients and seniors. Make these generic to be received by any of the recipients above. Due date TBD. When we ship QR code Cards, we will place your message and card in the box for the hospitals where we play live music: Holy Cross Silver Spring, Holy Cross Germantown, Walter Reed NMMC Fisher Houses, National Institutes of Health, Suburban Hospital (Hopkins), Sibley Memorial Hospital (Hopkins). Frederick Health, Shady Grove Adventist Hospital, and Howard General Hospital (Hopkins). You will need paper and paint/crayons/colored pencils for this. Whatever art supplies you have will be fine. Make these cards generic without reference to religious belief. Hospitals request this. (1 SSL hour for 15 cards). Write to: cards.thetacyfoundation@gmail.com for information and answer to your questions.Please do not include any personal information (full name, home address, phone number, email address, etc.Make and send your music video of music (nonreligious) on YouTube. We will offer your music to the Activity Directors (of seniors facilities) as Virtual Live Performance. You are allowed to speak clearly your message to seniors: “Thank you for all that you have done for the community. I would like to play this song for you now.....” Send to recording.thetacyfoundation@gmail.com. The length of the video should be 15-20 minutes of music at least. 1 SSL hour per completed, accepted, and uploaded Video. Write (and or) illustrate a particular memorable moment when you played music at a hospital. Perhaps someone came up to you and thanked you. Maybe a family had just heard a very sad prognosis, or a family was happily bringing home a newborn baby, a family was bringing home a loved one from a hospital stay. As they always do, they stopped to hear your music. Another time, perhaps you saw people enter the lobby through the big doors and turn toward the music and sigh a deep breath of hope and courage. Write a descriptive piece on this. Holidays and birthdays are very mixed. They are markers of family traditions with joys and sorrows. Your writing may bring peace of mind to someone in a senior facility or a hospital who cannot express the sadness or the despair or the joy of a surprise visit of a loved one. Stories are the best medicine for reminding us of the inestimable value of paying forward our hope for others through music. (1 SSL hour). Send to volunteer.thetacyfoundation@gmail.com and/or thetacyfoundation@gmail.com. Please do not include any personal information (full name, home address, phone number, email address, etc.) 5. Write about your Piano Pals® or Guitar Pals® or Reading Express® Your Reflections may be about a particular life lesson that you taught this fall or last year during the holiday season. Tell about how your young student saw the world of holidays through his or her eyes. Your writing may reflect (1) a change in your idea of community service, (2) what you discovered that you did not know before you taught (Write about this in regard to the children whom you are serving), and/or (3) the importance of music in the lives of the children you are working with. It may include a particularly difficult challenge that you faced or are facing in working with children. The piece may be about how you discovered a side of yourself you had not known before these music classes. Relate how you would like to take what you learned into the world to share with others and to serve again. (1 SSL hour after it is published online or in the Newsletter).

Volunteer: Adolescent Puppy Raisers Needed - Co-Raise a Service Dog for a Veteran with a Parent or Guardian!Warrior Canine Connection is a non-profit organization which breeds, raises and trains dogs with the assistance of Veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), or mobility issues. These dogs are eventually placed as service dogs for Wounded Warriors, military family support dogs, or facility dogs for Veteran Organizations. We are actively seeking volunteers to serve as Puppy Parents for future service dogs in training and would love for Montgomery County youth to co-raise with their parent or guardian. For the duration of their training, WCC pups live in Puppy Raiser's homes. In addition to any training the dogs do with Warriors, they are constantly working on their skills in a home environment and at training sessions at WCC. Puppy Raisers train our service dogs for 4 to 20 months before the dogs graduate and are placed with their forever Veteran. Each puppy goes home with his or her Puppy Parent between the ages of 8-12 weeks. To be considered for this important task, you must be willing and able to provide the following support and training for the WCC service dog in training: Must co-raise with a parent or guardian Provide a stable, safe, consistent and loving environment Provide the dog with access to new places, new people and new experiences Supervise the dog throughout the day Teach the dog manners and basic commands Keep the dog on a leash at all times or supervised in a securely fenced area Closely monitor the dog’s progress and submit monthly reports and complete a brief daily journal to reflect on the dog's progress and your experiences Attend weekly training classes that build skills and confidence Provide the dog with age-appropriate socialization opportunities Ensure that the WCC dog is the only dog under the age of one in your home Agree to return the dog upon requestClick here to learn more: https://warriorcanineconnection.org/get-involved/become-a-puppy-raiser/ As a youth co-raiser, you can earn 1 SSL hour for each day that you have the dog and take an active role in its training and healthcare (This is not a dog fostering program).

Organization: Warrior Canine Connection Warrior Canine Connection is a non-profit organization which breeds, raises and trains dogs with the assistance of Veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), or mobility issues. These dogs are eventually placed as service dogs for Wounded Warriors, military family support dogs, or facility dogs for Veteran Organizations. We are actively seeking volunteers to serve as Puppy Parents for future service dogs in training and would love for Montgomery County youth to co-raise with their parent or guardian. For the duration of their training, WCC pups live in Puppy Raiser's homes. In addition to any training the dogs do with Warriors, they are constantly working on their skills in a home environment and at training sessions at WCC. Puppy Raisers train our service dogs for 4 to 20 months before the dogs graduate and are placed with their forever Veteran. Each puppy goes home with his or her Puppy Parent between the ages of 8-12 weeks. To be considered for this important task, you must be willing and able to provide the following support and training for the WCC service dog in training: Must co-raise with a parent or guardian Provide a stable, safe, consistent and loving environment Provide the dog with access to new places, new people and new experiences Supervise the dog throughout the day Teach the dog manners and basic commands Keep the dog on a leash at all times or supervised in a securely fenced area Closely monitor the dog’s progress and submit monthly reports and complete a brief daily journal to reflect on the dog's progress and your experiences Attend weekly training classes that build skills and confidence Provide the dog with age-appropriate socialization opportunities Ensure that the WCC dog is the only dog under the age of one in your home Agree to return the dog upon requestClick here to learn more: https://warriorcanineconnection.org/get-involved/become-a-puppy-raiser/ As a youth co-raiser, you can earn 1 SSL hour for each day that you have the dog and take an active role in its training and healthcare (This is not a dog fostering program). In order to demonstrate this you must attend weekly trainings, complete monthly progress reports, submit the daily reflective journal every 12 weeks, and bring your dog to Head Quarters in Germantown when necessary.

Volunteer: Cross Country Junior CoachIn the middle of August we'll begin another great Coyotes Cross Country season for kids ages 5 to 14 (elementary and middle school kids). Practice will be every Tuesday and Thursday at Rocky Hill Middle School from 6:00 to 7:30 pm, as well as Sunday afternoons at 2:00 -- somewhere fun -- if we don’t have a meet. We’ll participate in 6 or 7 local league meets on Sunday afternoons beginning in the middle of September. Our last regular season meet will likely be early November. Many of our kids will participate in “post season” which will include a national championship meet in late November or early December. High school students can earn SSL hours by assisting at practices and/or meets under a lead coach's supervision. The Junior Coach commitment is super-flexible. Attend practices/meets as often or as little as you'd like. We offer a great environment for high school students to both gain coaching experience and serve younger children in the community. Students will lead warm-up runs, facilitate running drills and stretches, assist with conversational pace runs, and time the kids doing speed workouts. Are you fast? You'll likely help with our 13 & 14 year-olds. Not all that fast? You'll help with the youngest kids. Helping kids grow and achieve great things is a very rewarding experience. Coyotes Cross Country is the 2024 AAU Maryland Team Champion -- both boys and girls. And our 7&8 year-old boys are 2024 AAU National Champions. Let's go!

Volunteer: Life Stories - A Project for Honoring SeniorsLife Stories - A Project for Honoring Seniors The Tacy Foundation proposes to encourage selected student volunteers to interview and write the stories of the incredible seniors who have built and maintained the communities where we are now privileged to live. We hope to discover and share seniors’ stories of personal, family, and work lives in the past decades. They are the heroes who, despite huge life challenges, have raised families, created charitable organizations, served their neighborhoods with vigilance for all families, and contributed with integrity through their professions and community service. Capturing the stories of seniors has sparked the interest of a number of young musicians. The teens' stellar efforts to bring hope and memory to seniors with their music and conversations through the past 12 years have inspired us all. Youth have learned that these precious people are most interesting, well-educated, appreciative of youth, and devoted parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. To receive SSL hours, the student must be directly supervised by a Tacy Foundation adult volunteer or an assisted living staff member while interviewing the seniors. The interviews must be held in a public space, that is, a common area of the assisted living facility. This requirement is designed for the student's safety. The student can draft the actual article at home. He or she will then submit the article to the Tacy Foundation Director for review. When an article is ready, it will be published in the Foundation’s monthly newsletter. It will also be offered to the senior facility’s newsletter for their residents and staff. SSL Credit is based on the hours for the interview and equivalent time writing the life story of the senior. SSL credit will be determined as follows: SSL Hours will be based on the length of the actual interview, some longer and some shorter than others. Students will earn hour-for-hour the time spent conducting the interview. SSL Hours of transcribing the interview will vary, depending on the length of the interview. 1 Hour of SSL Credit for transcribing 1 hour of interview. 2 hours of transcription for 2 hours of interview, and so on. Any photos require pre-approval by the family and senior facilities. Kindly contact the Teen Chief Intern of this project: lifestories.tacyfoundation@gmail.com The Teen leader (Chief Intern) will respond as promptly as he is able. Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
