StarJam is a nationwide charity that provides vital community connections for tamariki and rangatahi inactive or isolated by disability, with mental and physical wellbeing our foremost priority.

They provide a unique place for young people aged 6 to 25 years with a range of disabling, often life-limiting conditions to express themselves through music. The objective is to get them physically and socially active in an environment where they feel safe to do so, connect with their peers and develop social and physical skills that enable them to live full and meaningful lives within society.

To achieve their aim they run weekly workshops in music and performance, along with providing regular opportunities for participants (Jammers) to perform and showcase their talents before audiences in a variety of community settings.
