Our mission is to empower youth with real-world job skills to create music and artistic media. The purpose is to provide youth a safe and fun way of learning a job skill while providing the community with radio programming, background music for local television, and live music concerts. Previous participants become mentors to new students. This forms a circle of learning.

At Modesto Sound youth learn while working on projects that are in the real world with professional musicians. In addition the job skills acquired are applicable to college, general work, and community participation. The program is attractive to youth and they continue to come back. Many feel it is their home, their family, and where they have met like-minded individuals to share ideas.
