Rock to the Future provides student-driven music programs in a safe and supportive environment at no cost for Philadelphia youth in under-resourced communities. Through music, their students build life skills to unlock their fullest potential to support current and lifelong well-being.

Rock to the Future partners with public, parochial, and charter schools and community organizations to serve hundreds of youth annually in-school, after school, during the summer, and online. Their unique program model pairs hip music programs with academic assistance, mentoring, and post-secondary education support. Striving for equity, there are no costs for youth to participate, Rock to the Future provides all instruments, supplies, meals, and transportation, and there are no auditions or prior experience required. For most students, participating in Rock to the Future programs is the first opportunity they have to learn and create music. Thousands of community members celebrate the talents and achievements of youth at dozens of free Rock to the Future performances each year.
