At Youth on Record, we know talent is evenly distributed, but access and opportunity are not.
That's why our programs are free and offered year-round, removing financial barriers and opening doors to opportunity.
Young people can first plug in to a connected pathway at Youth on Record through a music enrichment course, free summer camp, open mic, or studio booking.
And when they do, they find a creative community, mentors who believe in them, space to build confidence, belonging, and resilience, and more opportunities to grow as creatives: workshops, performances, internships, and paid opportunities in music, media, and live events. Mental health and wellness support is woven throughout, because feeling seen, valued, and connected matters just as much as developing artistic skills.
This Colorado Gives Day, we’re raising $50,000 to keep YOR's impactful programs free, supporting young artists as they find their voices, build relationships, and take meaningful steps toward their futures.
Hear from a few young people about their experiences in the YOR connected pathway below and consider donating to make these experiences possible for others.
Thank you to the WC & EJ Thornton Foundation for supporting our 2026 Match Fund!
