Rock to the Future is a nonprofit organization founded in 2010 with the mission of extending community-based music programs to Philadelphia youth whose musical programs had been stripped of funding and resources. Today, Rock to the Future features student-driven instructional programs and provides transportation and musical equipment at no student cost. Rock to the Future focuses on direct academic support and peer collaboration among its participants across Philadelphia.

Girls Rock Philly is a nonprofit organization founded in 2006 with the mission of creating intergenerational community between girls, women, and trans and gender-expansive people in the city of Philadelphia. Since founding, Girls Rock Philly evolved from a one-week summer camp to a year-round program with the continued mission of fostering and encouraging expression and collective care among pre-teen and teenage youth across Philadelphia.

Beyond the Bars is a nonprofit organization founded with the mission of establishing student-driven, community-based music programs for Philadelphia youth. The program focuses on providing a music and career skills-based experience for its students who have been affected by violence and incarceration with the goal of interrupting such cycles among youth in Philadelphia.
