Our program promotes goal-setting and develops our students' commitment to secondary education and community service. One of the largest free afterschool music programs nationwide, we serve youth ages 5-18. During the 2017-18 program year, rosie's house provided 450 youth with over 18,000 free music lessons, loaned 300 free musical instruments, and performed over 60 concerts to 12,000 audience members.

We are improving our student's quality of life by giving them access to opportunities that will help break the cycle of poverty and provide tools for long-term success.
