--Playing For Change (PFC) was created to inspire and connect the world through music. The idea for this project came from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people.
--creating music schools and programs, the Playing For Change Foundation is a global nonprofit organization offering creative opportunities for marginalized and at-risk youth, most specifically in the developing world.
Part of PFC's mission includes creating arts programs in under-served parts of our shared world.
Here in the States, PFC has partnered with youth groups like the Chicago Children's Choir. Click here to get inspired about the power of music to transform individuals, families, neighborhoods and beyond.
Their choir is part of this next Buddy Guy classic about equality...
Let's teach our children the core values of peace and social and environmental justice...
This next song features children from several of the PFC Foundation's music programs.
