YouthJamz

YouthJamz YouthJamz exists to provide at-risk children around the world with therapeutic music education through communal benefit concerts and fundraising.

Exciting events on the horizon! In addition to a San Diego event, look forward to a YouthJamz at UCLA benefit concert on the UCLA campus in January 2015 to benefit at-risk youth in Los Angeles as well as abroad. Outreach efforts thus far have: established the first music program at the Rising Star Outreach Peery School in India for 220 leprosy-affected children; established the first music program

for abused/neglected children at Casa de Amparo in San Diego; funded a music therapy program at the CAMME rehabilitation center for war-affected children in Congo; and provided funding to local homeless teens in San Diego through Storefront Shelter. Most recently, proceeds from our first YouthJamz at UCLA event, held May 2014, provided musical instruments to the impoverished children of the Msamaria Center for Street Kids in Moshi, Tanzania.

Governments and technology companies need to do more to bring Internet access to the poor.

While most of the chatter today about music revolves around its viability or lack thereof as a business model. Music, of course, is has purpose far beyond monetization. MedRhythms, for instance, uses neurologic music therapy to treat those with neurologic injury or disease.
