Project Title: At-Risk and Foster Youth Music Outreach Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
ACS\u2019s Music Outreach program\u2019s primary goal is to bring music education and movement opportunities that foster hope and joy to youth in under-served communities. To do so, ACS partners with: under-funded Title 1 schools (including Meadow, York International, and Welby) in Adams County, Colorado; Shiloh House facilities in five counties in Colorado that serve foster youth; and one community-led arts alliance for Latinx youth in Northglenn, Colorado. Additional goals of the program include: 1) providing sustained music instruction of 45 minutes to one hour per week to encourage true mastery with the hope that youth will continue music instruction throughout their lifetime; 2) providing instruments for under-resourced youth for use at home to encourage practice and family participation; 3) reducing the impact of trauma and increasing emotional healing through music exploration; and 4) providing needs-based scholarships for students to pursue individual instruction at the ACS Studio if desired. <\/p>\n
We believe passionately in the power of music to change the lives of all youth, enriching their education and changing the way they engage with the world. We also believe that all children, regardless of their ability to pay, should have the opportunity for music exploration. The current pandemic has illuminated the deep divide that exists between arts education opportunities enjoyed by privileged youth (often white youth) versus the almost non-existent opportunities open to their less-financially privileged peers (often youth of color). <\/p>\n
We know the powerful impact music has on young people–enriching their lives in so many ways, including: developing skills to support learning; establishing positive relationships with others; and providing opportunities for personal growth and development. Music education provides youth with a sense of achievement, inspires them and, in turn, inspires others. Every youth should be afforded this opportunity.\n<\/p>\n
