Help Our People Inc. is a 501(c)(3) public charitable humanitarian organization dedicated to supporting and lifting up those in need. We are an independent group of civic-minded private citizens committed to providing scholarships for differently-abled aspiring musicians to prepare them for lives of purpose. We are a school without walls.
Help Our People supports aspiring musicians who are low income or differently abled on pathways to lives of purpose by providing music education and mentoring. We also support young adults experiencing homelessness to access and succeed in higher education.
We believe in the power of community and collective action, and welcome the opportunity to explore partnership opportunities with like-minded organizations, groups or individuals who have similar interests.
