Voices from the Program
“Interning at Hopeless Music Academy was an amazing experience. From it, I learned that I want to work in the music industry and I felt like I was truly making a good impact on the youths of my hometown.”
- Jon-Duke, Intern“Interning at HMA has allowed me to do what I love while giving back to a community of children that genuinely cares about music and loves to learn, especially when approached with patience. Some of these kids are wise beyond their years. I can’t wait to see who they go on to become. The exposure and connections HMA is fostering for them now is a gift that will keep on giving for a long time. I am so happy to have been a part of this organization from its early days and will take the passion and work ethic I developed here with me everywhere!”
