What do we Do
Engage - Educate - Empower

 

The mission of MUSIC is to Engage, Educate and Empower through programs/projects that actively promote and protect human rights and peace through advocacy, capacity building, awareness raising, and by supporting its members in carrying out activities and projects that contribute to creating a fair and peaceful world. 

We pursue transformation one life at a time—no matter who they are, where they live, or what their economic status might be.  We do this by increasing information, access, and opportunity.

Specifically, we:

  • Serve as a trusted source of information and research-based solutions.
     

  • Support professionals and mentors to have a positive impact on the lives.
     

  • Meet people where they are with the accurate, non-judgmental information they need to make informed decisions for productive living.
     

  • Work with policymakers, leaders, and advocates to advance policies that guarantee equitable access to educational, financial and health information.
     

  • Work with the media and key influencers to reflect and affirm the benefits and achievements.
     

  • Serve as conveners and catalysts, creating likely and unlikely partnerships and offering a place for everyone at the table.

How do we DO it
Five Pillars of Foundation

 

Imagine. Your personal experiences are like notes on the pages of sheet music. When the notes are carefully assembled in collobartion with others, a melody is created. The melody begins to take shape, provoking emotion. But without direction, the melody of the creative composition can easily turn from motivation to frustration.

We seek solutions using the Collective Impact model to help men and women discover their potential while getting closer to where they want to be. 

 

  • Education: examining economic, historic, and socio-political issues that affect people and the environment globally.
