Music with a Mission

Experience the life-changing impact of music through our Music with a Mission Program, a collaborative effort with the esteemed Guitars A’Fire organization. Our goal is to empower youth in our community by providing them with musical opportunities that can positively shape their lives.

Music, being a universal language, has the power to bring people together, ignite creativity, and nurture personal development. Through this program, we aim to steer young individuals towards a rewarding activity that can influence their future in a positive way and help them avoid negative influences.

Through our partnership with Guitars A’Fire, we are able to offer deserving youth access to musical instruments and high-quality instruction. Participants will receive eight valuable lessons to help them enhance their artistic skills and personal growth.

A unique aspect of our program is that each participant will be able to keep the guitar they use throughout the program, serving as a lasting reminder of their progress and the positive impact of music on their journey towards personal growth and success.
