We are looking for passionate individuals who want to use their time and energy to join a fun movement for positive social change! StarJam is a fun, creative, and positive not-for-profit that is changing the way New Zealanders view disability by helping young people with disabilities unleash their potential through musical performance. We believe anything is possible and our weekly music-based workshops support Jammers (young people living with any disability aged 6 – 25) to discover their unique talents, in their own way and time.
