This year, Omaha’s JPYD Sound Sculptures program is flourishing, thanks to the support of FG4K financial partners, whose generosity has made a remarkable impact. With FG4K’s donation of guitars, JPYD recently moved into a new studio, creating a welcoming, stable environment where young people can explore their creative voices. Over the summer, JPYD launched an 8-week pilot program introducing students to the basics of music theory, guitar technique, and social skills—all designed to help them build confidence and meaningful connections. This powerful experience was made possible because of your support!

Sixteen-year-old Dieon is one of the many young people whose life has been enriched by this partnership. Coming from a challenging background, Dieon found a safe space and creative outlet through music at JPYD. Thanks to FG4K’s guitars and the mentorship he receives, Dieon now has the guidance and tools to develop musically and emotionally. FG4K’s generous supporters are changing lives by creating mentorship opportunities and inspiring young people like Dieon to channel their energy into something positive and powerful. 

These are the stories your contributions help create—thank you for being a part of this meaningful journey!
