He received his Associate Diploma in Piano Performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music and his Advanced Diploma in Theatre Performance from George Brown College. Currently, Stephan is the Vocal Music Instructor at George Brown Theatre School and Resident Music Director at YES Theatre in Sudbury.

When you see Stephan, please take a moment to say hello and let him feel a big East End Welcome!

The Ve'ahavta Project: Sunday November 6th, 1pm - 4pm
Eastminster Campus
Register by next Friday, October 21st!

You, your family and friends are invited to participate in a deeply meaningful day of hands-on volunteering. The DJC is partnering with Ve’ahavta to raise funds and make blankets and food for people living on the streets. Our activities will take place at Eastminster and are suitable for all ages. This is your chance to be a safety net for people who don’t have one. With your help, those who don’t have someone to help them – a family member, a friend, or a community – will receive the critical supports they need. Join us and hundreds of other volunteers at various locations across the city! Donations are welcome, but not necessary to participate. Teens who register can receive credit for volunteer hours.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of religion. While DJC is partnering with Ve’ahavta, we are also inviting our multifaith partners in the Danforth Multifaith Commons and the East Toronto Multifaith Community.

The Program: We’ll gather together for a livestream and welcome from Ve’ahavta, including some interviews with clients, and then move into blanket and cookie-making and wrap-up. Register here: Registration Start Page - The Ve'ahavta Project 2022 (akaraisin.com)
