Mission Statement
Boston Raising Powerful Musicians (BRPM) empowers girls, women, and gender-expansive youths and adults to believe in themselves by building a supportive community that fosters self-expression, confidence, and collaboration through music education and performance.
Description
Boston Raising Powerful Musicians (BRPM) works to eradicate all the limiting myths about music and gender by helping girls, women and gender expansive youth and adults to speak up, sing out, and make a lot of noise!
In a world that frequently minimizes these voices, BRPM believes in creating an enriching and supportive environment that celebrates our core values: Expression, Creativity, Collaboration, Inclusivity and Joy
BRPM is a volunteer-driven music education and mentorship organization that offers innovative and transformative programming to over 230 girls and youth with marginalized gender identities, ages 8 to 17, in the Boston area each year.
Our programming leverages hands-on music education and performance as vehicles to encourage confidence and collaboration while fostering creativity, self-expression, and social impact.
