EDITOR/PRODUCER: Doors of Change is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in San Diego. We exclusively help the most underserved of the entire homeless population, Transitional Age Youth (TAY) ages 17 to 25, the most likely age group to break the cycle of homelessness. For each of the past 3 years Doors of Change has set a record for helping homeless youth get off the streets and into safe housing in San Diego - and many youth have become self-sufficient as a result! In 2022 they shattered their record of housing homeless youth by 188 youth, resulting in 349 youth being placed in safe housing. Since 2001, they have helped over 2,700 homeless youth get safe housing.

Recognizing that trust is often a significant barrier for youth in need of services, Doors of Change selected music and art as a non-threatening way to engage young people living on the street for 18 years, until Covid. By offering music and art instruction in a small group setting, youth are given the opportunity to explore their feelings and challenges through the arts, achieve a sense of mastery for the first time, develop social skills that are positive and constructive, and create a vision for the future that is filled with possibility.

A special guest at this years concert will be Justine, sharing her true life "Rocky Story," a formerly homeless youth who just graduated from LAW SCHOOL! With community help, more youth like Justine have a life they can be proud.
