About Youth on Record:

Through a model partnership that brings together the local music community, public schools, the nation’s leading housing authority, and the philanthropic sector, Youth on Record (YOR) is a powerful example of what’s possible when talented, professional musicians and nonprofit/public sector leaders, and the local business community embrace an entrepreneurial spirit and band together around the common social cause of equity in education and the arts.

Our Youth Media Studio (YMS), the anchor tenant in a Denver Housing Authority award-winning redevelopment effort, is critical to our increasingly holistic approach to uplifting our region’s most vulnerable youth through access to music.  Since 2008, YOR has been bringing Colorado’s most respected and talented musicians into high schools and treatment centers across the state. Today, we impact 1,000 at-risk young people in Denver, and employ 15 professional, local musicians.
