EMPOWERING MIDDLE TENNESSEE YOUTH THROUGH MUSIC since 2003
QUOTES FROM YEAH! PARTICIPANTS:
“Camp made me feel important - that I had a voice that was valuable. I want all youth to have the opportunity to experience that.”
“I had so much fun and learned a lot. Going [to camp] made my confidence about singing so much better. I really can’t wait for next year and to see what else I can learn.”
“It teaches me that I kinda can do anything.”
For over 20 years, YEAH! (Youth Empowerment Through Arts and Humanities) has been a catalyst for nurturing creativity in Middle Tennessee youth. Through music, arts, and cultural programming, we provide unique opportunities for young people to explore their passions, collaborate with peers, and develop their creative voices.
Our programs empower participants to express themselves authentically, build lasting connections, and gain the confidence to take on challenges both on and off the stage. From afterschool classes to immersive summer camps and workshops, YEAH! is dedicated to building a more inspired, capable, and collaborative next generation.
