Youth Leadership Team and Supporting Members
About Us
SoundPost Youth Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that strives to create a platform for its youth to utilize his/her talents - musical or otherwise - and interact with the community. SoundPost assists these students’ developments by providing various activities for them to participate in, and in encouraging them to be independent and recognize their strengths. Through this community engagement and outreach program, SoundPost hopes that its members will gain self-confidence, face challenges bravely, be resourceful, give generously and establish a foundation for a well-rounded life.
The Meaning of SoundPost
A soundpost is a small rod that can be found inside some string instruments. Although it is invisible to the eye, it is a very important part of the instrument, even sometimes referred to as the instrument’s soul.
