Berklee College Partnership with the Music Clubhouse Program
The Berklee College of Music has been a key partner in every aspect of the development and on-going support of the Boston Based Music Clubhouses. Berklee has provided advice and support from the early planning through the implementation of the Music Clubhouse program including recommending design and layout of the clubhouse space, recommendations and donation of equipment and assistance in hiring and sourcing the Music Clubhouse directors.
A major element of Berklee's support is their funding of the Berklee work-study students who teach music lessons at the three Boston Based clubhouses. These work-study students also become mentors to the Music Clubhouse members. Each Music Clubhouse in Boston receives, on average, 50 hours a week of donated work-study time from Berklee!
Berklee sponsors the Berklee City Music program which provides opportunities for underserved urban youth to study at the college part time during the school year. Berklee has strongly encouraged Music Clubhouse members to apply to this prestigious program. A number of Music Clubhouse members are participating in this program to further their music education.
Berkleee College is a vital partner in every aspect of the Music Clubhouse program.
