Vision
88 International envisions a world in which young people drive positive change, and music is recognized as a powerful force for individual growth and social transformation.
How we get there
88 International builds relationships with Ministries of Education, institutional partners, government and local non-governmental organizations, and both donors and funders to establish and sustain afterschool music clubs in secondary schools.
We launch the clubs by electing student leaders to manage and lead their clubs throughout the year, and support them through leadership and creativity training, and opportunities to create songs and community events.
Upon graduating from secondary school, Alumni continue to support and mentor the student-led music clubs, and manage different aspects of the programs, enabling the next generation of students to thrive.
Alumni of the program undergo Training of Trainers to deliver experiential and student-centered leadership and creativity training to club members and leaders, both nationally and internationally.
Through our Connected Youth Network, Alumni, trainers, and club leaders have opportunities to exchange with their peers and learn from shared experiences in other 88 International programs.
These collective and sustained efforts help build strong and resilient communities of 88 International programs around the world, building students' agency and empowering them to be active agents of change through music and youth leadership.
