ELM provides youth with an immersive music education and resources that inspire and empower them to pursue their dreams.

ELM is a full scholarship, multi-year, intensive program that provides music education, ensemble, and performance opportunities to youth to develop the social, emotional, and academic skills they need to succeed in life.

ELM serves primarily Latino children and families who live in and attend school in the Canal neighborhood of San Rafael, an area of socioeconomic disadvantage in one of the richest counties in the country. The majority of its residents are Latin American immigrants or first-generation Americans.
