Joy Givers are Resounding Joy-trained volunteers who creatively share with others the words of hope, encouragement, and consolation through music. Joy Giver training is non-musician proof and very supportive in nature. Joy Givers need not be musicians to participate in this creative outreach program. Neither the ability to read written music nor play a musical instrument is a requirement to participate in Joy Giver training. Resounding Joy provides Joy Giver training with the expectation that volunteer Joy Giver trainees will utilize the musical tools they learn with Resounding Joy Receivers, waiting to receive music-making and supportive music services.
