History

Non-Profit Organization, Hands On! was formed in August 2006 to promote arts and culture, rhythm education and leadership development in previously disadvantaged, culturally poor communities. 

Social ills endemic in economically challenged communities such as unemployment, substance abuse and crime is prevalent.  Children in these communities lack positive stimuli as well as being exposed to the harsher realities of life, and as a result suffer academically as well as socially.   
Hands On was established to address these wrongs with music.
