Last Chance: Help New York City Youth Receive Music Education
Jessica Garand, a Unificationist living in New York, founded Opportunity Music Project (OMP), a non-profit organization that provides free music lessons, instruments, orchestral training and mentoring to deserving kids in New York’s inner city. A graduate of the Julliard school, Jessica started this program four years ago with a few students, and this year hopes to grow the program to have 100 students in the fall.
“The idea behind OMP came about after a conversation over coffee with a friend, about how a person’s potential can be determined by the circumstances they are born into,” said Jessica.
OMP’s 45-day fundraiser ends Thursday, June 4, 2015. There’s one week left to reach the goal of raising $20,000, and they’re halfway there! Any contribution, share or shout-out gets OMP closer to that 20K target. With your support, OMP can reach its goal, and exceed it!
