Ethos

Ethos is dedicated to the promotion of music and music-based education for youth in underserved communities. Ethos believes in building community through music.

Founded in 1998 in Portland, Oregon, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides music lessons, multicultural performances and workshops to more than 7,000 students a year. We believe that all kids, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location, deserve access to music education. Our organization employs eight administrative staff, ten full-time AmeriCorps members and 30 part-time music
