PFCF and Young Musicians United (YMU) have come together to widen access to music education and the arts for students across diverse communities within Miami. This collaboration began by supporting new music education programming at Citrus Grove Middle School, and has since expanded to include support for YMU’s free-of-charge, professional-grade music studio in the Wynwood area of Miami.
Additionally, PFCF and YMU are working on international collaborations and exchanges with other PFCF programs globally.
