Support Our Kids’ Programs
The Youth Program consists of recreational, instructional and performance components and manages an instrument lending library.
Financial support, as well as in-kind donations of instruments and accessories, are an essential basis of our kids programs. Your gift helps strengthen and enrich our Bluegrass culture by encouraging the next generation to play and enjoy music.
