KEYS Receives $12K Grant from Near & Far Aid

Bridgeport, CT -- KEYS (Kids Empowered by Your Support, Inc) is pleased to announce that it has received a grant of $12,000 from Near & Far Aid to fund our Bridgeport, CT music programs.

KEYS offers a comprehensive music program of one-to-one instrument lessons, after-school practice sessions, group music instruction and workshops, a non-audition KEYS Orchestra and KEYS Concert Band at Bridgeport’s Klein Auditorium, summer programs, and active collaborations with other non-profit organizations. 

The KEYS mission is all about empowering students by exposing them to music education as a life-changing experience. Music builds confidence, teaches teamwork, and requires preparation and focus. Students who receive exposure to music education have opportunities to make a difference both in their personal lives and in their participation in their communities.

Funding from grantors such as Near & Far Aid allows music education to be provided at no cost to these deserving student participants.  KEYS is grateful to Near & Far Aid for their continued support of the KEYS music programs in Bridgeport, CT.
