With a focus on vulnerable youth in our community, CAM reaches out to children who would otherwise have few opportunities to participate in the arts. Our goal is to reach them during critical after-school hours through music.

At CAM, children learn how to write songs, play instruments, and perform together on stage. In the process, they earn self-esteem, respect for themselves and others, and much-needed self-confidence.

Studies show that children who are exposed to the arts do better in school and other areas of life. We see this first hand every day, and all agencies confirm the positive impact the program is having in the lives of these children. In fact, one agency advised that serious incidents at their centre dropped from several per month to zero as a result of student engagement in CAM.
