Community

We serve children and young people between the ages of 7 and 18.
We embrace their innocence and potential, challenging the forces of crime and injustice by providing powerful and effective tools that help them overcome fear, trauma, and frustration. Through music, we empower them to creatively face the challenges of social poverty in the Metropolitan Area of Medellín (Antioquia, Colombia).

COMUNIDAD

We Created the Red de Escuelas de Música de Medellín in 1996

The Challenge We Address:

Young people at high risk have the least access to quality education, growth mindset development, and socio-emotional skills. This impacts the way they navigate their realities and limits their chances of accessing dignified employment opportunities.

The lack of mental well-being, positive role models, and the increasing misuse of alcohol and drugs among adolescents has led to higher school dropout rates, increased involvement in criminal activities, and rising unemployment rates.
