Rock to the Future supports positive youth development and economic empowerment through free, student-driven music programs for Philadelphia youth. Through music, our students build skills to unlock their fullest potential to support lifelong well-being. We work with 1,200+ students annually in-school, after school, and during the summer in schools, community locations, and juvenile justice facilities.
We are dedicated to the Kensington Community and have worked with this neighborhood since 2010.
