An educational mentorship, E.D.I.F.Y will develop

and inspire youth to explore their gifts in life through a music lens. Participants will learn to express themselves and their life circumstances through song

writing, recording and performing, ultimately

giving them the tools they need to achieve their full potential. This project is an opportunity to

make a significant impact on our country’s most valuable resource – our youth. It is an opportunity to recognize the talents of marginalized teenagers and harness their gifts into unrealized potential. The prevalence of suicide and feelings of hopelessness amongst many of our youth has been the impetus for the creation of this program.

E.D.I.F.Y will invest time and resources into today’s youth and build a groundwork for their future,

Participants will experience arts and culture,

develop technical skills, learn the power of language

and music, as well as the need for collaboration.

Music is an important tool in shaping and impacting lives in a positive

way. Through the ages, people have used music an inspiration for

many of their life challenges and goals. Music is the universal

language and through this program participants will be taught how to

develop their talent with integrity and excellence.
