Believe in a Beautifully Diverse Future

For over 40 years Project STEP continues to advocate for early and long-term access to high-quality classical string training for our student musicians, providing a creative and safe learning environment for a successful future. Thanks to the generosity of friends like you, we are able to amplify the stories and voices of our young musicians of color.

When you invest in Project STEP your support also makes you an ambassador of change, placing importance on how our society values the diverse cultures and ethnicities of our communities. Thank you.

Did you know? - Project STEP began its work in 1982 in collaboration with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston University, and New England Conservatory. Through participation in high-quality, comprehensive classical string training, Project STEP students develop the tools they need to succeed not only in their musical aspirations, but also in academics and careers. Our program teaches fundamental skills including problem solving, collaboration, and critical thinking, and STEP’s dedication to our mission reaches beyond our students, making sure their families are an integral part of the program. For forty years 100% of Project STEP graduates have gone on to college or conservatory and approximately 60% of students go into the music profession.

PLEASE NOTE: If your gift is in tribute or memory of an individual, you will have the opportunity to notify this person or relatives of the memorialized during check-out by filling out the tribute/memorial box labeled "Honor or remember someone with your gift?" Thank you.
