ACTS – Conway, AR

ACTS stands for “Acting Creates Therapeutic Success”. We partner with a local organization (Independent Living Services/Profiles) in Conway to lead a program for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This program provides an opportunity for individuals with an array of abilities to perform in a theatrical production. We meet together weekly; we divide into groups and practice our scenes. The participants are the stars of the show and the volunteers (that’s you) help to lead these groups and facilitate success! This is a wonderful opportunity to see OT on the community level and learn from the participants about the importance of participation in meaningful occupations. No acting skill or experience is needed to join us!

Spring rehearsals will begin February 13. We will have a small orientation on the first day for those that are new to ACTS. We meet on Mondays at ILS from 3:30-5:00pm. ILS is located at 615 E. Robins St. Conway, AR. There is no performance this semester, just preparation for a fall show. Spring semesters will run from February 13 through April 17 (we will not meet over spring break).

Hello! My name is Lauren Lundblade and I am the Director of ICan! Dance. We are a non-profit that provides free and accessible dance classes for children of all abilities. We have 3 classes here in Conway. Classes take place on Friday’s at Sonshine Academy, one 4-4:30, another 4:40-5:10, and another 5:15-5:45. Classes will take place from September 8 to November 3. As a volunteer, you would be a buddy for one child. You will be with the same child all semester and will help them participate in class and in our recital on Sunday November 5 in Little Rock. No dance background is needed, it is mostly just fun games and moving their bodies! If you have any questions, you can email me at lauren@icanarkansas.com or text me at 817-713-6495.
