Jail Guitar Doors

Jail Guitar Doors’ Apprenticeship Pathways Program (APP) will equip systems-impacted and opportunity young people with the tools, training and mentorship needed to pursue careers in the region’s thriving media and entertainment industry. JGD’s program will offer paid, hands-on apprenticeships in sound design and camera operation, converting young people’s creative potential into sustainable, living-wage employment. APP will foster a supportive environment, offering wraparound services that facilitate long-term success.

JGD-USA’s Community Arts Programming & Outreach (CAPO) Project is a high-quality, innovative reenetry and diversion program for youth who have been engaged in the justice system. An extension of its existing music programs, the goal of the CAPO is to create arts opportunities that foster the positive socio-emotional, behavioral, and decision-making tools to help youth fight recidivism and prepare them for successful employment.
