2021 was a year of success for MCCM despite the many challenges our world has been faced with. Despite the pandemic we were able to restart some in-person workshops and held our first two community concerts since March of 2020 (outdoors, of course). It also saw the development and launch of an arts entrepreneurship program for teens in San Diego Unified and Juvenile Court school sites.  It was our first time bringing on a student from a Juvenile Court school to serve as a paid intern, and the beginning of a new continuing education scholarship for teens who have shown exceptional growth and promise. We also had a successful year-end fundraiser which will provide funding to restart our Teen Performance workshop in 2022.

 

Internally it was a year of growth with the hire of a third full-time employee, Operations Manager, Librado Hernandez and the development of a new in-house training program for teaching artists who provide arts workshops in the school sites we serve. We couldn’t have done it without the support of our staff, volunteers, community partners, and supporters like you!  Thanks so much for helping Mid-City Community Music continue to improve lives in Mid-City San Diego through the power of art and music.

Sincerely,
