Project Title: Running an Ecosystem of Support for Youth Impacted by Violence
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
In response to our students’ needs, BTB expanded to community-based programs, serving youth affected by various traumas such as homelessness, abuse, poverty, and loss. Understanding the scale of these issues, we adopted systemic approaches by partnering with over 50 local organizations. Together, we established music labs and programs in diverse locations, including shelters, trauma clinics, foster care centers, schools, community hubs, recreational centers, immigrant and refugee programs, anti-violence initiatives, LGBTQ+ support programs, diversion programs, and those aiding youth affected by divestment.Through collaborative efforts with our partners, we’ve established 33 programs and over 45 musical spaces citywide, ensuring accessible engagement for youth across neighborhoods. <\/p>\n
Our \u201cEcosystem of Support\u201d model, emphasizes community-based music programs to expose students to supportive musical environments. This model isn\u2019t just about exposure; it meets youth where they are (foster care etc) and links them to additional BTB programs and community resources from our partners, addressing needs spanning shelter, food, mental health, and education. Recognizing the significance of youth leadership, our system includes the Student Teacher Program. Here, youth evolve into leaders, learning trauma-informed teaching practices and becoming mentors and change makers in our community. They gain valuable career training experience while being compensated for their employment. From our inception in jail to the present, BTB remains committed to being driven by both our community and students\u2019 voices, continually evolving to best build with them.<\/p>\n
Here’s how BTB\u2019s Ecosystem of Support operates:
\nMobile Studio\/Invitational Programming – Programs that meet youth in moments of transition and crisis (shelters etc) and brings them into our larger community
\nTransition Team\/Resource Connection- connects them to additional BTB programs and the resources of our partners
\nReceiver\/Neighborhood Hub Programs- ongoing programs where youth can perform in shows, engage in songwriting, instruments and recordings
\nStudent Teacher\/leader Program – where students are employed and trained to be teachers and mentors in the city.\n<\/p>\n
