MVM Rock Camp, 2019, Jason Quigley Photography
Sending you a BIG thank you!
Your support in 2019 made it possible for us to rock out with over 1,350 youth (ages 8-24) in over 2,500 classes and recording sessions. With your help 970 of these youth were able to access our programs for free!
615 young people participated in classes, camps and our new “Open Studios” after-school drop-in program at MVM Studios.
740 participated in our outreach programs at residential facilities.
Here are some student feedback from 2019:
CONFIDENCE: 85% reported feeling better about themselves and handling whatever comes their way.
“I love the community and how it taught me so much and helped me gain self-confidence.”
COMMUNITY: 77% report feeling a stronger sense of community and feeling like they have something to contribute to that community.
“[I like] the sense of community. Every kid is valuable and has a voice.” “I like being able to play with people I’m not usually around.” “I get to meet new friends and learn new instruments.”
CREATIVITY: 93% report that they enjoy music more and 90% report that they feel better at music.
“The friendly people here help me create without being pressured. I appreciate you all with my heart.”
Together we are building a community where confidence and creativity thrive. Stay tuned for our 2019 annual report!
