How Your Gift Impacts Young People

Expanding Horizons Through Music

In addition to weekly lessons, each student receives a personalized bi-lingual songbook in our Expanding Horizons Through Music Program which uses music to teach foundational literacy skills to preschool students experiencing extreme poverty and housing insecurity.

AFLMA Performances

Students listen with wonder to roster artist Shaw Pong Liu performing the erhu. Arts for Learning MA performances often provide students their first encounters with an art form while providing cultural contexts and curriculum ties.

Custom Arts Learning Residencies

Students at the Sarah Frederick School in Dorchester perform newly perfected Latin dance moves in a yearlong residency program made possible through donor support. AFLMA’s residency programs enable students to express themselves while connected with culture.
