Soundscapes is a youth development organization that fosters life skills in students through music education. Soundscapes was established to address the issues facing local youth, including poor academic performance, violence, poverty, and the effects of these issues on the community. Soundscapes uses music as a tool to provide positive development opportunities for young people from second grade through age 25 across Hampton Roads through a variety of programs. Soundscapes has three free daily after-school programs at Title I elementary schools and free summer camps. Also, the Peninsula Youth Orchestra and Peninsula Youth Jazz Band, are made accessible to all students through its sliding-scale tuition structure ensuring no qualified student is turned away for financial reasons. Soundscapes addresses the need for meaningful, skill-building music opportunities by offering accessible, high-quality youth ensembles that help students grow life skills through music and social engagements.
