  • In 2025, AMP expanded the AMP Beat Building Academy. This month-long class is a trauma-informed music production and job-training program for youth experiencing homelessness. Using beat making as an accessible entry point, the program provides hands-on instruction in music production, basic music theory, and audio engineering. Youth participate in weekly, small-group sessions supported by experienced instructors, where they build technical skills, collaborate creatively, and develop confidence and consistency. The program also emphasizes transferable workforce skills such as time management, focus, problem-solving, and project completion. Through mentorship and creative expression, the Beat Building Academy supports emotional regulation, community connection, and pathways toward long-term stability and employment. To further encourage creative expression, AMP provided select youth with their own musical instruments, ensuring they have the tools to continue their artistic journey. This year, AMP distributed: 12 Guitars, 6 Ukuleles, 3 Keyboards, 4 Amplifiers & Pedals, 3 Drum Pads, 2 Electronic Drum Kits 4 sets of drum sticks, 2 Microphones, stands and cables, 1 Bass Guitar, 1 pair PA speakers, 1 Mixing Board, numerous tuners, pics, cables and straps.
