In addition, we don’t just spend all our time learning music in the classroom. We’ve gone on college tours to Temple, Harkins College, CCP, and more; we’ve had guest speakers who taught us things like how math integrates into music, how to control our emotions and understand our triggers, and so many others that were all relevant in their own ways. We’re also offered paid opportunities through WorkReady in the summer, where in return for completing 2 weeks of professional development and 2 weeks of music instruction, each student is paid over a thousand dollars by the end of the summer.
Another paid opportunity is the Student Ambassador, which I was fortunate enough to have been chosen for. As a student ambassador, I am allowed to represent Rock to the Future on tours with various donors where I am given the opportunity to not only share my experience with the program but to explain from a student’s perspective what we do in each block and how it contributes to Rock to the Future’s overall goal, and I’m given $25 at the end of each tour. Most recently, I’ve been given the opportunity to graduate from Rock to the Future with a scholarship and a laptop, both things that will help immensely as I take this next step into college.
Thanks For Your Support!
All of these things were made possible because of the amazing donors who believed in Rock to the Future enough to trust this program with their money. Now, you can be a part of that impact as well by donating to Rock to the Future’s Pathways to Success campaign, where every dollar you donate will be doubled thanks to a generous match. It’s your support that makes all of this possible.
