Rock the Week with YEAH!: Music, Community, and Exclusive Merch AT THE AMP UP YEAH! SPRING PLEDGE DRIVE
For over 20 years, YEAH! has been a vital force in Middle Tennessee, providing creative and collaborative experiences for young musicians. From our after-school Rock Block program to our legendary summer camps, YEAH! turns creativity into confidence and expression into empowerment. Thanks to our supporters, we have never turned away an applicant for financial reasons.
At YEAH!, kids don’t just make music - they make meaning! We’re calling on our community to help keep the space to make this happen alive! The AMP UP YEAH! Pledge Drive runs from April 1-7, intending to raise funds to sustain our programs, expand our reach, and ensure every young musician has access to the resources they need - regardless of financial barriers. This spring, we aim to gain 100 new $10 monthly donors to support our mission.

Why your support matters:
YEAH! is more than just a music program - it’s a community where young musicians discover their voices, build confidence, and form lifelong connections. We believe that music should be accessible to everyone, and with your help, we can continue making that a reality.
When kids create, we all grow. YEAH! makes that possible! Donate, watch, and celebrate with us from April 1-7 at yeahrocks.org!
