Our Services
How we help and inspire school-age children with disabilities through music and mentorship.
Musical Instrument Instruction
Volunteers give patient, one-on-one and small-group lessons on instruments such as piano, violin, guitar, and percussion to school-age children with disabilities, adapting each lesson to the student's pace and abilities.
Group Performances & Recitals
We organize informal recitals and group performances throughout the year so students can share what they've learned, build confidence, and celebrate their progress in front of family and friends.
Volunteer Mentorship
Teen and young-adult volunteers are matched with students for ongoing mentorship, building friendships, encouragement, and consistency well beyond the music lesson itself.
Community Events & Outreach
BestowYouth partners with local schools, community centers, and families across Millburn and nearby townships to bring music and volunteer programming to more students who could benefit.
