The organization has partnerships with <br />fiv e North Carolina univ ersities and colleges for this program as well <br />as two out-of-state programs in New Hampshire and New York. <br />Students at Musical Empowerment participate in a unique mentorship <br />experience where they are paired with a collegiate mentor and <br />prov ided weekly one-on-one music lessons on the instrument of their <br />choice, which they own after three years. Most importantly, collegiate <br />mentors act as positiv e role models for low-income youth and teach <br />critical skills that music education prov ides, such as time <br />management, discipline, creativ ity, and dedication. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 9978ACCF-6224-4838-9174-30B7C8AA96E6
