Chords for Change is a community-based musical program with partnerships throughout Northern California. We use professional music therapy to help participants recover from the adverse effects of domestic violence, sexual violence, and homelessness.

We work in small therapy groups to build a fun, non-invasive atmosphere which builds community, important social support networks, and promotes empowerment through music.

Our Director of Music Therapy, Jamie Blumenthal MA, MT-BC works closely with shelter management to design a program tailored to meet the needs of their clientele.

Chords for Change provides these services at no cost to the host organization. We are a self-funded organization and believe that the financial burden of bringing music to those in need should not be placed on existing advocate groups. Our funding comes from private and commercial donors as well as community benefit concerts.

Chords for Change is an opportunity to improve the lives of countless people.
