Transforming Youth Through Music.
Bridging the gap between aspiration and opportunity by empowering underserved youth through music.
The Problem
After the COVID-19 pandemic, youth mental health has been in decline; we exist to make a difference.
Current Youth Services are overwhelmed.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 1.3 million youth (10-24) in the greater Bay Area. There are hundreds of thousands more youth than there are available youth services.
Mental health is getting worse.
Every month, in every county in the Bay Area, eleven youth take their lives due to treatable mental health issues. In the Bay, mental health problems are rising.
While You’re Reading This…
According to the National Institute of Health, the day you read this, 2 youth took their own lives because of mental health issues.
