The reviews are heating up for ROCK and a HEART PLACE. We've recently participated in Youth Leadership Training Programs that benefitted from the inspirational message of the film. We traveled to Huntsville, Alabama and Tallahassee, Florida to screen the film for two of the thousands of local volunteer centers that dot the country. These audiences are made up of teenagers who are studying to become volunteer leaders in their community. Read about our exploits here. |

One of our goals for the documentary was that it would inspire audiences to embrace the power of volunteering by illustrating the "behind the scenes" of a unique grassroots group. ROCK and a HEART PLACE has become an educational tool for volunteer agencies, educators, community and civic organizations. |

The documentary debunks the myth that volunteering is "obligatory" and demonstrates how the combination of passion, fun and friendship can form a template for change in our society. Illustrating that volunteering can be both fun and challenging, the film also brings the plight of the forgotten up close and personal to audiences of young people who have never seen the daily lives of those struggling with disadvantage. |

At each screening, we're offered other ideas and audiences that would be interested in the film. Networking with our volunteer center partners, we discussed the "baby boomer" audiences - the largest segment of the population will soon be retiring and seeking outlets for their time and talents. ROCK and a HEART PLACE could be a motivatonal tool for anyone speaking to those who will soon have more time on their hands. |
