Change lives
“One of the most important things that I took from VIA Academy was learning that there is just so much good that I can do within the world using music. Just knowing this helped me learn of the issues within my community that I never really thought of before and it helped me think of ways that I can help combat these issues using my musical abilities. I really learned of the difference that I can make as a musician. This is just something that I will always remember and 100% utilize in my future as a professional musician.”
Because VIA Academy’s programming is 100% free for students, gifts from incredibly generous donors are crucial to fulfilling our mission.
