Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Kid City will provide free music education to low-income, first-generation teens and young adults living in South and Central Los Angeles. For teens in high school, Kid City provides music instruction, performance group guidance, performances, workshops, and field trips with a modern band approach – which is highly engaging to young people who are fans of Spanish rock, punk, pop, and jazz.
Organization Summary
Kid City’s robust year-round youth development programs in arts, college access, and career readiness for high school and college students includes: individual and band music lessons, band rehearsals, community performances, mentoring, tutoring, personal statement and FAFSA workshops, college admissions guidance, college and career workshops and support, advocacy training, and leadership retreats. 100% of graduating seniors involved with the music program are attending college.
