About us

Early positive musical and artistic experiences provide opportunities for children and teenagers to develop cognitive skills, to build confidence and stage presence, to express themselves in new ways, to harness their creativity and to connect with others. They might inspire a life-long hobby, or a profession.

Your charitable contributions enable us to carry out our important mission!

Something as little as adding your name to our mailing list strengthens our cause!

YOUTHArts Westford is a volunteer, non-profit organization consisting of parents, teachers and interested community members. We are fully reliant on the time, skills and financial donations provided by individuals and companies in the community to carry out our mission.

As YOUTHArts Westford and previously as Friends Advancing Music Education (FAME), we have been supporting students at all grade levels in Westford since 1983 including:
