Drop’n Beats music program gives at-risk youth a safe place to collaborate
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The goal is to create an environment of collaboration.
The non-profit Drop’n Beats program operates out of the McMan Youth, Family and Community Services Association and is a rebrand of an initiative that ran at the top-end of the 2010’s.
It allows participants to drop by McMan Youth in downtown Lethbridge, check out the studio, and write and record music.
Jayme Firstrider, the Drop’n Beats Youth Engagement Coordinator, said the program initially ran from 2011 to 2014 before funding fell through, leading to a years-long hiatus.
