World Rhythm Academy - THE jazz, justice & generational BRIDGE
We use live music and art events to connect youth with caring elders. Our youth-led multicultural Bridge Night concerts and parties held at senior and nursing homes serve as the bridge that links wisdom-filled, marginalized elders and bright, underserved teens. We aim to create safe spaces that encourage graduation, fight hopelessness and build lasting relationships among elders and youth.
