Music for impact
Young people leading change through music
88 International helps secondary-school students build confidence, create original music, and lead change in their communities.
Our Mission
88 International equips secondary-school students to lead, create, and build stronger communities through music.
Locally rooted programs combine student-led clubs, concerts, songwriting, education, and cultural exchange according to the needs of each community.
Alumni return as mentors, trainers, and program leaders, turning one student experience into a network that can support the next generation.
