Mentoring

OUR PROGRAMS

Music Programs

Our music programs give young people a place to make music, build confidence, and learn how to create alongside others. Through songwriting, drumming, singing, recording, and performing, they develop their musical skills while learning to listen, collaborate, and express themselves.

How We Mentor

The Four Gateways

Here's How You Can Support Us

Every young person should have the chance to make music, find their voice, and experience what it feels like to belong in a creative community.

There are many ways to help make that possible. You can help a young person afford a program, help us train the mentors who work with them, or help us build the resources and spaces we need to reach more kids.

Scholarship Fund

For some families, the cost of participating can be a barrier. Your donation can make it possible for a young person to join a music program, even when their family cannot afford the full cost.

Your support can help put an instrument in a young person’s hands, give them a place to write and record their own music, or make it possible for them to join a group of young musicians and perform alongside their peers.

A gift of $3,600 can provide a full year of music programming for one young person. Gifts of any size help us offer scholarships to more families who need financial support.

Your donation can directly open the door for a young person who needs this kind of community.

Donate to Training, Infrastructure & New Programming

As Gateway grows, we need the people, tools, and spaces to grow with it.

Your donation can help us train more mentors, develop new music programs, purchase instruments and recording equipment, provide transportation, and build the infrastructure that allows us to serve more young people.

We’re working toward a permanent Gateway headquarters and the resources to make music a regular part of more young people’s lives. A van, instruments, studio equipment, mentor training, and new programs may seem like separate pieces, but each one helps us create more opportunities for kids to connect, create, and grow.

You can help us build the capacity to reach more young people.
