WHY THIS PROGRAM MATTERS

Many teens don’t have access to safe creative spaces.
This free songwriting program gives youth a chance to express themselves, build confidence, and connect with mentors and peers who support their growth.

Through guided sessions, students learn how to turn their thoughts and experiences into original music.

 WHAT TEENS WILL GAIN

• Confidence expressing their ideas
• Creative writing and storytelling skills
• Basic music composition knowledge
• Collaboration with other students
• A completed original song by the end of the program
