Your donation is an investment in the future of creativity!
At Youth on Record, we're committed to putting our money where our art is. This year, we're investing over $115,000 into our young creatives in the form of paid opportunities. When you make a donation to Youth on Record, you’re supporting paid career development and performance opportunities for the next generation of musicians and media artists in Denver.
These critical economic opportunities provide pathways to sustainable livelihood in an increasingly expensive city and support individual and community freedom.
YOR offers programming that increases the opportunities for and likelihood that young people will build the skills, networks, confidence, and strategies to become economically self-sufficient, doing work that they love, and are passionate about.
Join us in #FundingTheirFuture.
This year we offered a variety of paid opportunities for young creatives including: our paid Fellowship, Internship, and Podcasting Internship programs, performance opportunities at community events like Civic Center Eats and our annual Block Party, media coverage at community events, apprenticeship roles at the Underground Music Showcase and our Open Mic nights, and more!
In addition to these incredible paid opportunities for youth to expand their creative skillset, we offer free containers for creatives to grow and explore including Open Lab (an afterschool program for youth ages 14-20), our Middle School Summer Camp, our Monthly Open Mic, creative workshops, and more!
This is a HUGE feat for Youth on Record and a big impact in the creative industry - Youth on Record stands out from other orgs who aren’t paying as much or at all - this is a substantial portion of our budget and we’re making our budget values-aligned by incorporating this initiative.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! Help us pay young creatives over $115,000 by making a contribution.
