Music & Arts Program for Youth, Inc.

The Music & Arts Program for Youth, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization committed to providing quality music, arts, character education, literacy and leadership development programs to youth and families. As a volunteer driven organization, we engage, educate and empower youth to succeed.

Since June 2010 M.A.P. has provided musical instruments, art supplies and innovative learning programs at no cost to youth. This program teaches youth the fundamentals of music and art along with character education, literacy and leadership development.

​Alachua residents Bill and Wilma Rogers recognize that all families do not have the financial means to afford cultural programs for their children. It is Bill and Wilma’s goal to provide under-served youth an opportunity to participate in development programs in order to learn and grow into productive citizens who give back to their communities.

“The Music and Arts Program is a wonderful asset to our community. It’s pleasing to know that youth in our community, regardless of socioeconomic status, have a place to go to enrich their lives with music and culture,” said City Manager Traci Gresham. Together, Bill and Wilma aim to provide youth with a trusting environment in which to learn and grow in character, while discovering their gifts, talents and purpose.
