BE PART OF THE ART!Become a Sing for Hope Project Leader

“Being a Sing for Hope Project Leader gives the chance to offer kindness and love

to those in circumstances that are often beyond our realm of understanding. It’s a

great responsibility, but an even greater privilege. I discovered almost immediately

that I was able to dig much deeper into myself than I thought was possible. I

discovered a kind of selfless love inside myself, a kindness that I didn’t know I had.

Being a Project Leader is a gift.”

—Abby Powell, Sing for Hope Project Leader
