Our mission is to create a humanitarian army
of reclaimed and retrained musicians and directors
and utilize their untapped potential to benefit and serve the poor.
From concerts, free lessons, non-profit support, fundraising and more,
these repurposed artists will alleviate the suffering of the needy.
Our aim is to end artistic attrition and instill a sense of responsibility for those considered the least and the lost. By the unique restoration of wounded or underused musicians and creation of opportunities to serve, we believe the rate of attrition will steadily decrease while humanitarian service will increase. Through our targeted marketing, recovery, training programs, and opportunities, we will foster an individual’s musical destiny, which will affect global societies.

COLLABORATION
The Global Outreach POOL will collaborate with other performing and fine arts people for a full artistic experience. Also, GPN will collaborate with and support organizations that serve those in need in a truly humanitarian way, whether faith-based or not.
To begin with, we aim to work with:
- Club Down Syndrome to empower those with Down syndrome
- Joy on Wheels to uplift the homeless and empower its musicians
- G-COMM to inspire purpose
- American Music Therapy Association to heal the wounded
- The award-winning Opportunity Music Project in NYC that give free lessons to worthy underprivileged children
To further prevent artistic attrition, we also will collaborate with college and university systems to include free improvisation in their standard curriculum.
We have created Project Brae’s Hope to provide medical aid for crisis pregnancies and post-abortive parents. This will be funded by generous donations and a portion of the proceeds from artistic events and sales of artistic works of those eager to join us in this worthy project.
THE GLOBAL OUTREACH POOL LONG-TERM STRATEGY
- Enter school systems and churches with workshops to raise up a generation of youth with a heart to serve the poor with their musical gifts.
- Work with humanitarian projects that empower poor, under-served, and distressed musicians in need of instruments, training, purpose, or basic necessities.
- Round up unemployed musicians and present concerts to raise funds for and work with at-risk and handicapped children, crisis relief, unwed mothers, the homeless, orphans, and at risk seniors.
- Send music students, who are prepared with contest solos and ensembles, to play their pieces in nursing homes and hospitals to comfort and entertain.
- Support programs that give free lessons to worthy underprivileged children.
- Build a school for worthy underprivileged children (POW Center) and work with Vision Expansion Alliance (VEA) to expand into cities across the nation.
