The Problem

Hear the Music live was created to reach out to pre-teens and teens in foster homes and orphanages to give them the opportunity to attend a concert in their local area that they may otherwise never have the opportunity to see. At Hear the Music Live, we understand that pre-teens and teens in foster care homes or orphanages may not have the opportunity to enjoy activities that other teens are experiencing. We hope to bring some joy to these teens through music. Hear the Music Live is the vision of our founder, Steven Nornhold who has a life-long passion for music and understands that some teens are missing out on some opportunities that many others take for granted. Mission Statement Hear the Music Live is a non-profit organization that works with foster care homes and orphanages to send pre-teens and teens to concerts in their local area and provide them the opportunity to do "meet and greets" with the artists.

Plan of Action

The current plan of action is to get more people involved in Hear the Music Live's mission. Hear the Music Live needs support through volunteerism, mentorship, donations and help spreading the word about the importance of music in the lives of foster youth. By volunteering to meet foster youth at concerts in the Nashville area, I was able to mentor and be involved in the life of a foster child while also having the honor of seeing music transform their life. By volunteering at Bonnaroo, I was able to reach thousands of people by spreading the mission of Hear the Music Live, interacting in positive ways with the festival goers and by bringing in cash donations.
