Program Location

We launched of our first in-person program in Los Angeles, January 2022. Powered by a generous gift from the Cameron Boyce Foundation, our inaugural team of LA-based mentors brought guitar, bass, piano, and songwriting instruction to 24 students at USC Hybrid High in Historic South Central.

Our mentors come from different walks of life and artistic paths, all connected by their love for the arts and a passion to pay it forward.

They are Guitars Over Guns’ heart and soul, implementing and customizing our comprehensive curriculum that uses  arts-based mentoring as a powerful intervention tool for young people.
