Free Music Lessons Build A Priceless Community
Every day, 120 students from the inner city, the suburbs and the rolling hills come to Scrollworks for free music lessons. Many travel over an hour to get there. With her entire retirement savings, Jeane Goforth launched this organization as a fun place for kids from all different socieconomic levels and backgrounds to make friends, and to change their thinking. The ripples are tremendous. "She was not just providing lessons. She really sees it as a unifying agent, as a means to bring communities together, people together," shares one mother, whose son Matthew is now at the prestigious Alabama School for the Performing Arts.
BE THE CHANGE
"She can't help but to help." Go forth and do a little something to bridge a gap that you witness today.
