Make disruptive change
Year Round

Our free Amplify Workshops keep us rockin' and reelin' year round. We bring in teaching artists and WRC Volunteers to facilitate discussions and activities centering around music, film, art and social justice.

Youth Open mics are a rad way to use your voice and to pass the mic!

We Rock Band, Voices, and Symphony build confidence in performers and prepare middle to high schoolers to headline on Festival in the Park's We Rock Youth Stage!
