Welcome
The mission of YOURS is to develop social and cultural awareness, foster responsibility, and provide necessary tools for success. This is done in the context of a youth orchestra in inner-city Chicago, modeled after the "El Sistema" program in Venezuela. The YOURS project targets children, many of them homeless, who live in low-income circumstances. The education takes place in a structured and nurturing environment where children can grow to reach their full potential as healthy and responsible human beings.
