About the Sarah McLachlan Foundation:
The Sarah McLachlan Foundation was founded in 1999, inspired by the
vision of founding partner, international singer and songwriter,
Sarah McLachlan. The Foundation’s mandate is simple: to bring music
into the lives of young Canadians, through providing free music
programs to youth in under-served communities. The impact of
participation is profound: building self-esteem, and fostering
creativity in young people through the power of music.
In 2002, The Foundation launched its first school, Sarah McLachlan
Music Outreach - An Arts Umbrella Project, in Vancouver's inner
city, offering students free music instruction in guitar, piano,
percussion, voice, rock band, music fundamentals and choir. This
innovative program reaches over 200 students, grades 2 through 12,
offering group and private lessons, practice rooms, and a media lab
to create original works of music. The school provides an inspiring,
secure place where students go to learn, practice, and connect with
friends. Students acquire a life-long appreciation of music, and
enthusiasm for learning, but most importantly, Sarah McLachlan Music
Outreach offers a nurturing environment where young people learn
important life skills, are free to explore their creative potential
and develop peer connections that will last a lifetime.
