YMU believes that every child deserves access to free music education, regardless of their socioeconomic background. The organization currently works with 5,000 students each week, making it the largest in-school music education non-profit in the 3rd largest school district in America. With continuous commitment to ensure every child in Miami-Dade County has access to free in-school and after-school music education, Young Musicians Unite plans to serve 7,500 students by 2025.
