Mission Statement
The MusicianCorps Theory of Change is: If people, especially young people in disadvantaged populations, are given opportunities to participate in ongoing music-making and service activities facilitated by musicians, they will gain important 21st century workforce skills and be more active in civic life. If musicians are encouraged to serve as mentors and teachers, they will also become more active in the civic life of their communities. Combined, these efforts will enhance education levels and employment possibilities among youth and musicians, as well as increase civic engagement among youth and adults in the larger community.

Description
Music National Service (MNS) is a national nonprofit organization that supports music as a strategy for public good. MusicianCorps (MC), its flagship program, trains and places musicians to serve full-time as teachers and mentors in public schools, youth centers, hospitals and other high-need community settings where there is little or no access to quality music instruction.
