Guitars Not Guns Ohio

Guitars Not Guns Ohio Music has the power to heal. We instill a love and appreciation for music that children can carry with them for the rest of their lives. They’ve earned it!

We are the Ohio chapter of the national Guitars not Guns Music Program which provides guitars and lessons to foster children and at-risk youth in a classroom setting with qualified teachers as an alternative to violence. Our program is targeted to foster kids and at-risk youth ages 8-18 using high teacher-to-student ratios. Each class consists of a maximum of 10 students with three adult instructo

rs. Each program is 8 weeks long with a one hour session each week. In addition to learning how to master changing from one chord to another, children learn perseverance & discipline and build self-esteem. More importantly, the kids learn to enjoy the interaction and have fun in a group setting. Those kids who complete the full 8 week program have earned the right to keep the guitar and are invited to return for a second 8-week session of more advanced instruction. No Paid Employees. All Volunteers. All the Time. Guitars not Guns is proud to say that we are a 100% volunteer-based organization. Our mission is driven and delivered by passionate volunteers who understand the importance of music in the lives of under served children in our communities. Because we have no paid staff, more of your contributions go directly to the children. For more information, to volunteer, or to donate to Guitars Not Guns, please visit our website.
