Creative Youth Development Through Music

Beats, Bars & Beyond is a signature program of Rawkstars, Inc. Rawkstars believes access to music is a basic human right, akin to clean drinking water, health care and education. We remove obstacles to ensure youth have access to music and all its inherent benefits. Because talent is evenly distributed, opportunity is not.

Founded in 2003, Rawkstars’ operates two signature youth development programs,

RAWK ENROLL: Empowering youth by providing 100% FREE instruments, music lessons and performance opportunities for local kids.

BEATS, BARS & BEYOND: Music-making, hip-hop experience & career development workshops with at-promise and justice impacted youth.

Music is the vehicle, not the destination.
