We are proud to introduce one of our newest Playing For Change Foundation program partners – the Baja Musical Arts Initiative in Tijuana, Mexico. Youth in Mexico have been impacted by the growth of drug activity and violence infiltrating their neighborhoods and communities. The instability and risks that youth face in this type of environment are barriers to their education and their ability to feel safe and protected. Thankfully, there is hope. Organizations like BMAI share our mission of using free music education as fuel for positive change in impoverished communities.

Our intent is to build a network of people who are promoting and believing in a more enlightened and joy filled future for the planet. As a part of that we will be celebrating the efforts of individuals who are taking direct action to improve the life experience of others. There is much more good in the world than so many people realize. The all too pervasive media focus on tragic and unwanted events and attitudes is making many people anxious and afraid of the future. Those fears energize a future that is clearly not what we want for...
