RockCorps has been using the power of music to inspire young people to volunteer in the United States since 2004. In the coming year, we will be staging a series of concerts to inspire volunteerism in the UK. We've found that youth will respond to calls to action when top rock, pop and hip-hop artists make that call. For our concerts, you can't buy a ticket, you have to earn a ticket. Over 25,000 kids have given 4 hours of their time to their community as a result, and after the concerts we've proven they will return to volunteer again and again. It works; music motivates.
