About this organization
Mission
Hear Your Song empowers children and teens with serious illnesses and complex health needs to make their voices heard through collaborative songwriting. Kids living with life-threatening and chronic illnesses need the chance to show the world — and sometimes to hear for themselves, too — that they are more than their diagnoses: Hear Your Song shakes up the stories about who sick children are and can be by letting kids take control of the narrative and share whatever part of their life or imagination they want to lift into music.
About
Hear Your Song, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that empowers children and teens with serious illnesses and complex health needs to make their voices heard through collaborative songwriting. Hear Your Song provides power and choice—and a microphone—to young people with a wide range of diagnoses, both physical and mental health conditions, that so often deprive them of both power and choice in their day-to-day lives. At Hear Your Song, we believe that every young person deserves the chance to define themselves on their own terms. In kid-driven, trauma-informed songwriting sessions, Hear Your Song volunteers work with youth participants to guide them through the process of writing their own songs about anything they want, from loving pasta to living with epilepsy. Youth songwriters write all their own lyrics and generate ideas for musical style, instrumentation, and tempo. Volunteer composers and musicians then use those ideas to set the words to music and record the song exactly as the songwriter imagined it to be heard, celebrated and shared. Some youth songwriters just write their lyrics and others choose to sing on the recording themselves and to compose and produce their own music — the journey is up to them! Hear Your Song partners with pediatric hospitals, camps, schools, and other nonprofit programs that serve kids experiencing serious illnesses and complex health needs. Hear Your Song’s volunteers collaborate with kids through campus-based chapters and at the organization’s national level. Hear Your Song is always happy to support youth songwriters who use assistive or augmentative technology to communicate. All of our programs are available to our families and partner organizations free of charge.
