Our Goal

If we get youth to spend an hour working on their craft or talent to allow them to record a five minute song... then, that’s 1 hour and 5 minutes that they ARE NOT being negatively entertained by the streets. They are spending time investing in themselves and uplifting their community with their talent.

our mission

Youth Aid is a nonprofit, 501c(3) organization whose mission is to expose, engage, and inspire youth from underserved communities through the creation, production, and business of music. Youth Aid provides free, industry standard musical instruction and production for youth ages 8-18, from communities within the Bay Area. Through strategic partnerships with indigenous community based programs, Youth Aid supports and strengthens the social and cultural infrastructure of the Bay Area’s most vulnerable communities and creates opportunities for youth to learn, develop their talents, cultivate their creativity, and fulfill their dreams.
