LEARN ·2020 Grants ChallengeMusic Forward: Helping Engage our Youth through Careers in the Music Industry
Music Forward empowers young people to follow their dreams into the music industry and enrich it with their diverse voices and perspectives. In 2020, Music Forward will launch a refreshed and expanded youth development program serving twice the number of musically talented 14 to 24-year-old residents of Greater Los Angeles, and more effectively reach those who are living in low-income, underserved communities. New partnerships with the LA City Economic & Workforce Development Department (EWWD) and ReLAY Institute will help us reach these goals.
