Guitars Over Guns

Miami, FL

Guitars Over Guns provides after-school mentoring to at-risk youth through the art and music education and performance as an alternative to the gang recruitment, drugs and violence typically dominating their environments. We target the most vulnerable middle-schoolers, pairing them with professional musicians who use contemporary music to reach and teach these young people the skills they need to be successful, both in and out of school.
