To provide families, who cannot afford music lessons, an opportunity for their kids to learn an instrument in exchange for volunteering.

Chords For Community is a new non-profit. The organization will work by having students and volunteer teachers. The volunteer teachers will be matched up with 1 or more students to provide music lessons once a week. Every month, the students will volunteer as "payment" for the lessons. Not only does this allow these kids to have lessons, who otherwise would not have been able to, but it also will hopefully encourage kids to continue to volunteer even after they're done with the program.
